According to Emisisoft specialists, the number of ransomware attacks is overgrowing, and additionally, they are carried out in detail. Crisis and panic are becoming more and more cruel to companies. Until now, the worst-case scenario was data loss; the scope of sophisticated blackmail is increasing. At present, the black option is to make the stolen information public on the Internet or to pass it on to other criminal groups. Brett Callow believes that the scale of tactics may be the answer that employees of the IT security segment manage to break ransomware encryption and unlock files. In this case, it is not profitable for companies to pay the ransom; they have to wait to recover lost data. The new ransomware campaign carefully selects its victims, aiming primarily at organizations for which publicizing the data stored in their systems could be a real disaster. The leakiness of fraudsters and intimidation shows their temporary helplessness on IT employees, forcing and inventing newer tactics.
