Ransomware continues to be “costly and impactful” for industry and government. The FBI Internet Crime Report notes an 18% increase in complaints received in 2023 from 2022 levels. Ransomware is now a staple national security risk for the U.S. government.
Ransomware is a type of malware which prevents you from accessing your device and the data stored on it, usually by encrypting your files. A criminal group will then demand a ransom in exchange for decryption.
