Abstract

The Exponential growth of the Internet interconnections has
led to a significant growth of Digital attack incidents often with harmful and
terrible effects. Malware is the primary choice of weapon to carry out
malicious intents in the digital space, either by exploitation into existing
utilization of unique characteristics of emerging technologies. The
development of more innovative and effective malware defense mechanisms
has been regarded as an urgent requirement in the digital security
community. To assist in achieving this goal, we first present an overview of
the most exploited endangered in existing hardware, software, and network
layers. Then we discuss new attack patterns in emerging technologies such
as social media, cloud computing, smart phone technology, and critical
infrastructure. Finally, we describe our hypothetical observations on future
research directions.
