Why are big scary computer viruses in the vein of Mydoom and Sobig and Cryptolocker not really common anymore?
>>
Because the biggest virus of them all comes preinstalled on most computers
>>
Higher barrier to entry
>>
remember sasser? now THAT was a virus

malware makers realized they're better off trying to target corpos, rich people and wannabe crypto traders rather than normal blokes who are more likely to be broke.
>>
companies learned the hard way that security matters and now invest a lot more into it
>>
>>106964601
People don't need to target personal computers to compromise your data anymore. Also crypto viruses are still everywhere
>>
Because they can get paid for bug bounties i think

I don't think there were a critical mass of people actually paying the ransom, to begin with.

The creation of computer viruses has changed over the years. It has gone from being scientific research and a hobby to becoming a multi-million dollar industry full of legally dead people who create and deploy intrusive software from undisclosed locations around the world. Why don't we hear about antivirus software anymore? Perhaps because malicious actors now focus primarily on important targets, such as sensitive industries where the game is different.

The image attached to this post is very revealing: at the top are examples of the early 90s, 00s generation of computer virus creators: weird kids, some eccentric scientists; ten years later, at the bottom of the image, we have completely new archetypes: people working for security companies, shady individuals with strong ties with the criminal world, terrorists using intrusive software to finance operations.

If we had this evolution in ten years, a decade ago, imagine what kind of people are creating malicious payloads today.
