“Ransomware groups are becoming more and more invasive and brazen in how and what they use as a weapon. To increase the pressure on companies, they are not only stealing data and threatening to pass it on. They also intensively analyze the data and information to maximize the damage and create new opportunities for blackmail. This means that companies not only have to worry about corporate espionage, the loss of trade secrets or illegal activities by employees, but also about such problems in connection with cyberattacks,” says Christopher Budd, Director, Threat Research at Sophos.
