Ransomware has become the most common type of malicious software.
it works by infiltrating computers and locks them down until a ransom is paid.
The frequency, severity and sophistication of ransomware attacks in the U.S. skyrocketed in 2021.
There were about 420 million ransomware attacks, which was up 98% from the previous year.
Despite the mounting threat, relatively few businesses insure against it. The three main culprits are all well known, China, Russia and the US.
We have protections in place, but I would rather not have to rely on them. I may look into getting a policy to cover this issue.
