How do viruses spread now?

Question

Malware

Recently, many information security specialists have written that viruses are most often spread not through porn sites (they say they care about their image), but through news sites, sites with flash games, etc.

How do viruses spread now?

If we talk about the distribution of banking trojans, DDoS bots, ad fraud trojans, then one of the schemes is something like this:

What does "now" mean?
Distributed today as well as before. The principle does not change, except perhaps only the specifics and methods of implementation.
Here, of course, you can paint for a very long time, list dozens, even hundreds of methods that have names and definitions in the same Wikipedia.
Banal content. Varezniki, torrents, attachments, spam of social networks. They also get access to update servers of commercial software companies, sawing under the guise of updates (which are logical, updated automatically). Well, etc., etc.
The most successful, I think, are bundles-exploits. Finding a developer is probably luck all your life, but usually they rent a bundle (about $ 1000-3000 per DAY !!) and send traffic to it. There, according to CVE browsers / flash / JS, etc., they get a bunch, a huge bunch of conf. information, access, etc.
Well, you are more interested in statistics.
Kaspersky has many virtualizations of
Apt and real-time DDoS attacks.
Well, in general, General threat statistics
