Ransomware: An online attack perpetrated by cybercriminals who demand ransom to release hold on encrypted or stolen data. In the past decade, attacks that fall under the ‘ransomware’ umbrella have evolved from a consumer-level nuisance of fake antivirus products to sophisticated malware with advanced encryption capabilities that now primarily target public and private sector organizations. And while threat intelligence can help uncover which organizations may be considered primary targets at any given time, no single industry, geography or size of business is immune. As the footprint of ransomware keeps evolving, so too does the amount of ransom demanded to release data. Ransom amounts that used to total double digits have grown to seven and eight figure numbers. In even more extreme cases, attackers demand victimized companies pay as much as $40M to $80M U.S. to have data released back to their control.

Ransomware is one of cybercrime’s strongest business models today, pushing aside long held staples like banking Trojans, phishing, DDoS, and cryptojacking. Ransomware has crippled organizations across the globe carrying with it cumulative price tag well into the billions of dollars.

Uninterrupted, time is the ally of the attacker. As time passes, more data and files are encrypted, more devices are infected, ultimately driving up both cost an damage. Immediate—yet methodical and informed—action must be taken.

Alerting IT security teams and allowing them to launch the incident response process that they have prepared to combat ransomware should be a first step. If you have a retainer contract with a third party provider it is advisable to engage them as well. Other parties to consider contacting are federal law enforcement and regulators, depending on the local requirements for the geographies in which your company operates.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_global id=”1368″]
