The advancement of technology brings many facilities for people all around the globe, but along with some inventions, it has given rise to ransomware attacks as well. Threat actors from all corners of the world are active to steal private data to make a bulging deal with the victims.
Despite SonicWall's assertion that attacks have decreased since last year, the ransomware attack has dramatically declined in some regions of the world, but it continues in others. Controlling such assault has become increasingly bothersome, particularly in today's world.
The latest report, which covers the third quarter of 2022, states that the number of ransomware attacks in the United States has decreased to -51%. In contrast, numerous cybersecurity company incidents have been documented in other nations, and the number of these attacks continues to rise daily. These attacks have increased by 20% in the United Kingdom, 38% in EMEA, and 56% in APJ, making them the most vulnerable. Despite this, ransomware attacks have significantly decreased since 2022.
Furthermore, report submitted shows that since the start of this year, the cases shoot up to 338.4 million. Many companies are facing issues regarding their security system and are worried about these growing attacks.
Technology has allowed threat actors to be more advanced and acute in their techniques to capture private data. They are polishing their technological skills to ask for ransom while your data is being held at gunpoint. In addition, these criminals have integrated systems, tools, and devices for controlling such attacks. They are working in large numbers to steal your data.
These attacks pose a significant threat to businesses, and their owners are concerned about ransomware attacks. Survey shows, "89% of respondents named financially motivated threats as their top concern."
According to SonicWall threat expert Immanuel Chavoya, these criminals have become more refined because they are as well-versed as anyone else in how to profit from technology. The number of these attacks has increased, and have a list of whom to target next.
Moreover, these attacks aren’t limited to business threat actors are also targeting health institutions, educational institutions, and even government institutions. The report has come to light that these cases have grown so much that the government needed to step in to alleviate these attacks.
To steal private data or any information used against an individual, ransomware attackers work to trick people into sharing their business credentials. Later, they ask for the ransom amount, and if the company fails to pay the ransom, they will broadcast the entire data on their website to the public. This kind of attack puts the company’s reputation in jeopardy. Therefore, one must need to take action against such crimes.
