Study: 90% of organizations say ransomware impacted their ability to operate.

At the same time, the number of extortion-only attacks in which the criminals did not encrypt sensitive files but instead threatened to publicly leak them dropped to 4% from 7%. Whether or not to pay the ransom is a decision every victim faces in a ransomware attack.

These results imply that organizations are still struggling to figure out how to better use the resources they have to deal with ransomware attacks.

A full 90% of the respondents hit by ransomware last year said that the most significant attack hurt their ability to operate.

On average, organizations hit by ransomware took a month to recover from the most significant attack.
