Ransomware increases 74.23% year on year
New research by Bitdefender identifies a significant rise in ransomware this year, in comparison to 2018.
In its Mid-Year Threat Landscape Report, researchers noted that since the fall of GrandCrab earlier this year, many spinoff ransomware families have filled the gap.
The top three threats facing business and consumers included coin-mining malware, commonly used in cryptojacking campaigns, exploits leveraging unpatched or previously known vulnerabilities and fireless attacks and banking trojans.
