Security News > 2023 > March > Ransomware gangs’ harassment of victims is increasing

One of the key trends revealed in the research is that ransomware gangs are using more aggressive tactics to convince their victims to pay the ransom.

In the latest incidents, ransomware gangs are harassing victims and other people as a way to apply even more pressure.

As ransomware continues to flourish, the Unit 42 team said they found that confidential data from an average of seven victims are posted on leak sites each day, which is around one new victim every four hours.

To help your organization better defend itself or recover from these new types of ransomware attacks, Unit 42 offers a number of recommendations.

Provide ransomware harassment awareness training to employees.

Following a ransomware attack, scrutinize your network for any backdoors or other indicators of compromise that the attackers may have exploited.
