73% of those SMBs that have been the targets of ransomware attacks actually have paid a ransom, Infrascale reveals.

B2B orgs were more likely to be ransomware targets than B2Cs. Business-to-business organizations were more likely to have experienced a ransomware attack than business-to-consumer entities, according to the Infrascale survey results.

The majority of SMBs said they do feel prepared for a ransomware attack, with 10% more B2Bs expressing that sentiment than the B2C group.

The research shows that 78% of SMBs in the B2B category already have paid a ransom in a ransomware attack.

Forty-three percent of SMBs said they have paid between $10,000 to $50,000 to ransomware attackers.
