I find it interesting that it registers on the pie chart as 15% combining the malware and mining software.
While keyloggers are only 2%
That said price and mining centralizing a bit likely account for the overall decrease in malware attacks.

So they do know about Bitcoin, but they still do not want to accept it as a payment method for their products. I have been sending them emails for months to try and get them to be the first AV software company to accept Bitcoin as a payment method.

It's just natural for the hackers to target mobiles, because most people do not care to install AV software for their phones. I did a quick spot check, and only one of my friends have AV software installed on his phone. I asked 32 people. It's a huge opportunity for them, and most people use their mobiles, linked to many of their accounts.
