No, not because of a major ransomware attack shutting down critical infrastructure or grinding production to a halt. In fact, the opposite. President Biden continued to push the need for cybersecurity and a more effective response to the scourge of ransomware by convening a 2-day ransomware summit involving 30 countries around the world.

	2021-10-01 14:36:19	If You Prevent Ransomware You Don\'t Need to Recover from It (lien direct)	I started Cybereason to help defenders protect their networks and data against attacks-to use what I know about how cybercriminals think and how adversaries work to give defenders an advantage against all threats. Right now, one of the most pervasive threats is ransomware, and I am proud to say that we remain undefeated against ransomware attacks.	Ransomware
	2021-09-28 12:40:35	Ransomware Prevention vs. Recovery: Which Costs Businesses More? (lien direct)	It probably comes as no surprise that ransomware attacks are more prolific now than they were several years ago.

In March, the REvil/Sodinokibi ransomware gang infected Acer and demanded $50 million-the highest ransom demand from any ransomware group up to that point. That same gang then turned around a month later and demanded the same ransom from Apple after it failed to coerce Quanta Computer, one of the tech giant's business partners, into paying up.

	2021-08-31 12:01:26	Evolving Ransomware Tactics Include Recruiting Insiders and DDoS Attacks (lien direct)	The attention generated by the DarkSide ransomware attack against Colonial Pipeline in May has helped to reshape the ransomware threat landscape. One of the most important modifications came when the digital crime forum XSS announced that members could no longer post about ransomware topics.

	2021-08-04 12:37:12	Partners in Crime: How Ransomware Gangs Are Working Together (lien direct)	By now, it's clear that paying the ransom won't necessarily help ransomware victims to recover their data. Paying up also doesn't guarantee that victims will be safe from secondary attacks. According to our ransomware report, 80% of organizations that opted to pay a ransom demand ended up suffering another attack. Nearly half (46%) of those victims said they believed that the same attackers had infected them again, while 34% felt that it might have been someone else.	Ransomware

	2021-07-07 20:27:43	REvil Ransomware Attacks: Implications for Kaseya, MSPs and Businesses (lien direct)	In some ways, the ransomware attack involving Kaseya is a perfectly logical extension of everything we've seen since the end of last year with the disclosure of the SolarWinds attacks: the merger of supply chain exploits with ransomware to kickstart distribution, an even higher bar for extortions, and the same overall ecosystem at work. In other words, no surprises.	Ransomware
