• 3.5x more likely than corporate networks to have at least one family of malware .
• 7.5x more likely to have at least five distinct families of malware .
• Common families of malware are extremely prevalent , including Mirai , which is observed 20x more . frequently , and Trickbot , which is observed 3.75x more frequently .
• More than 25 % of all devices have one or more services exposed on the internet .
