Cybereason released research findings from a global ransomware study of nearly 1,300 security professionals that reveals more than half of organizations have been the victim of a ransomware attack. The report also divulged that of the organizations who opted to pay a ransom demand in order to regain access to their encrypted systems, 46 percent reported that some or all of the data was corrupted during the recovery process. The findings underscore the real cost of paying attackers, and that organizations should focus on early detection and prevention strategies to end ransomware attacks at the earliest stages.
