One of the biggest issues organizations have today is ransomware attacks.

Basically, what they do is they sell access to their attacks.

The biggest differentiator here is you have a higher volume of attacks, you have more people involved, you have greater volumes of attacks and shorter timeframes, therefore you bring in a greater amount of profit and by sharing this profit, it's very appealing and lucrative to cyber criminals.

It's becoming a really big problem, but those sorts of tactics - as well as using social media to taunt the victim and hosting their own infrastructure to store and post data - all of those things are elements that prior to seeing it used with Ransomware-as-a Service, were not widely seen in traditional enterprise ransomware attacks.

If no one paid ransom, you wouldn't keep having attackers continue these types of attacks.
