It’s been one year since we started publishing the Docker Index (stats, trends and analysis from developers and dev teams based on anonymized data from millions of Docker users). At that time we saw how Docker was being used at an incredible scale to power application building globally. Today we are excited to share the latest edition of the Docker Index, this time with some yearly and quarterly comparisons.  Every time we pull these user…

Malware designed to steal log-in information saved in browsers has infected 16 million computers and swiped credentials for up to 174,800 accounts.
