Ransomware will continue to be a massive threat to businesses in 2022 having grown exponentially in recent years. Organisations are seeing a record number of attacks and paying out bigger ransoms than ever before. A large part of the reason for the continued threat is the seemingly immune status that these types of hackers are currently receiving from certain countries on the basis that no activity is taken against these country's own organisations.
In some cases, systems and networks can be compromised and unnoticed within networks and systems for days, weeks, months and even years, until the hacker decides to sell access to Ransomware groups, frequently reported by the ECSC Incident Response Team.
The most common form of Ransomware that we, at ECSC, support our clients with is Ransomware as a Service (RaaS).
RaaS is a by-product of threat actors who utilise Ransomware frameworks in order to behave like a traditional organisation by extorting other companies.
