Ransomware still rampaging — get the info and strategies you need

If it weren’t illegal, and extortionate, and mean-spirited, and devastating to its victims, and just plain wrong, you’d have to admit that ransomware is a great business to be in. Just this week the attack on the Colonial pipeline—which crippled gasoline distribution and netted a reported $4M – $5M in ransom paid—reminded us all that ransomware is one of the most reliably profitable ways for cyber-criminals to generate ill-gotten gains.

And there’s no sign of it slowing down. New ransomware variants are appearing constantly, along with devious new ways of introducing it into your network. The 2021 ransomware situation is just as bad as it’s ever been, if not worse.
