Ransomware is affecting all types of organizations, including small and large international enterprises. Is this going to stop any time soon? We don’t believe so. It is too lucrative for the attackers. They are bringing in a lot of money from these attacks. Studies of Bitcoin transactions show that at least $100 million in ransom payments have been made to attackers between 2013 and 2017. The important thing to know is that these attacks can almost all be prevented – by implementing cyber defense best practices.
It’s even more expensive to recover lost computer systems and to maintain services and product deliveries to your customers while those systems are being recovered. In fact, it was discovered that some ransomware recovery services secretly pay the ransoms to get their customers’ systems back up and running.
Unless ransomware attacks become more difficult and expensive to implement, they will likely continue to grow over the coming years.
