David,
I’ll check it out! Thanks.

Also I found that VT has a recent malware by file type histogram:  https://www.virustotal.com/en/statistics/

Related question—is there a way to get a handle on the ratio of benign to malicious files in an organization?

Forums.malwarebytes.com has samples submitted by other users of MB software.  Those come in as they are discovered by 
users on the forum.

Subject: [SECURITY] Malware distribution?

Hi,
I’m a cyber security researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We are in search of a distribution of malware (or 
malware types) used in the wild that is fairly recent. Are there any honeypot reports or actual distributions from 
operations that one can share with us?

Thanks
Bobby
