Trivia

The taz reported in the March 8, 2012 issue that the company Panda Security was the victim of a distributed denial-of-service attack by the Anonymous hacker group on the evening of March 6, 2012 . US specialist services reported that the head of Panda Research, Luis Corrons, said the arrest of anonymous hacker "Sabu" was "really good news" on the company's blog. This prompted the activists to launch the attacks. On March 8, 2012, the site of the security company was partly no longer accessible.

Several Panda virus protection products paralyzed Windows computers en masse on March 11, 2015 due to faulty virus signature updates.
