Ransomware growing into "serious problem"

Speaking with Cointelegraph, Brett Callow, threat analyst at malware lab Emsisoft, commented:

"Ransomware attacks go along to be a serious problem, and that'due south because companies go on to pay ransoms. The but fashion to stop attacks is to brand them unprofitable and that ways companies must improve their security so every bit non to exist in the position of needing to pay ransoms. Too often, attacks succeed but considering of subpar security, and that needs to change."

Callow has said that information technology sounds similar the ransomware gang may not be planning to auction the robotics company's information. Nonetheless, that shouldn't be taken as a 100% confirmed fact. He says that REvil could act unpredictably at any time.
