Ransomware Report: Attacks down for the first time

The ransomware threat landscape is beginning to ease, according to Delinea's 2022 State of Ransomware Report. The number of ransomware attacks has dropped significantly in the last twelve months, and many affected companies no longer pay ransoms.

It was announced that the attack had been noticed and warded off. But far from it: the hackers were probably still on the Continental network at the time or still had access. In daily operation...

LockBit stole over 40.000 gigabytes of data in its ransomware attack on Continental. Also included: confidential documents from VW, BMW, Mercedes.
