A high incidence of new malware that potentially can cause damage has been reported.

Elevated

An unpatched or recently patched vulnerability is present on many systems worldwide but requires user interaction to be exploited.
An existing vulnerability becomes more serious because new exploit code has been published.
There is new malware activity, but it is not widespread.

Low

Low

There is no direct threat to systems that have been patched.
