Ransomware is bad, but it is also made very easy for the perpetrators
Ransomware has taken on absurd forms recently. At the beginning of this year, much of the east coast in the United States faced gas shortages because Colonial Pipeline was shut down. In July, hundreds of managed service providers had REvil ransomware dropped on their systems through Kaseya desktop management software. In Ireland, the HSE (the Health Service Executive responsible for health care in the country) was in a digital hostage situation. And those are just a few of the most striking examples.
