VirusTotal reveals user-sent malware

VirusTotal reveals malware data sent to the web by users, equivalent to almost as high a hard disk volume as the Burj Khalifa building.

According to a report by the TechCrunch website, a group of independent cyber researchers vx-underground posted via their own social media X account that the world's largest collection of malware code is as large as 30 TB (Terabytes). But in the same post, Bernardo Quintero, who is the founder of VirusTotal's website and systems, a virus and malware scanning service through a globally popular website, came forward and said that because our website receives malware scans from a variety of sources, it has a total of up to 31 PB (Petabytes or Petabytes, which is larger than Terabytes or 1,000 times TB)

As a result of the high volume of malware mentioned above, the key questions of cyber researchers at various institutions will start to focus on how malware develops in attacks, but the source has a different opinion and skepticism: if it is taken as a picture, how much of the volume of malware will be brought to this thought experiment?

Starting with the use of a 3.5-inch 1 TB hard disk to stack, which, based on the amount of malware mentioned by the vx-underground, is a pile of hard disks that reaches 2.5 feet, while the height of the reporter at this point is 8 feet, but according to VirusTotal's data volume of up to 8PB, the height of the hard disk is 2,645 feet, which is almost the height of the Burj Khalifa building, the tallest building in the modern world, which is as much as 2,722 feet. The World Trade Center is only 1,792 feet, and the Eiffel Tower, by comparison, is only 1,083 feet.

It can be seen how enormous the current volume of malware is. So let readers live online with caution.
