Record month for ransomware attacks

 

 Beeping Computer confirms what I'd heard on a BBC podcast September 2023 saw the greatest rise in ransomware attacks to date. The exact reasoning isn't provided just the outcome. Once upon a time health care facilities received a marginal pass  - this is no longer the case. It's all about the Benjamin's. In terms of targeted regions, North America took the lion's share with 50%, Europe followed with 30%, and Asia was third with 9%.

 


There was a report which I need to look into. Purportedly a major ransomware group was broken up in Ukraine.
