Too Long; Didn't Read

Global surge in ransomware attacks hits 102% increase this year compared to the beginning of 2020, and shows no sign of slowing down. Healthcare and utilities sectors are the most targeted sectors since beginning of April 2021. Ransomware attacks have seen a 57% increase in the number of attacks since the start of 2021 amid the disclosure of the Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities. The FBI confirmed in a statement on Monday that a professional cybercriminal group called DarkSide was responsible for the attack on the Colonial Pipeline network.
