The FBI says it received only 1,783 complaints regarding ransomware infections in 2017. The number of people who reported ransomware infections to US authorities has gone down last year. Ransomware was the 24th most reported cyber-crime in the US. Victims said ransomware caused total damages of $2,344,365, also ranked 24th. The FBI does not support paying a ransom to the adversary, the agency says. With BEC scams, non-delivery complaints, and data breach complaints remaining prevalent, the FBI is more likely to allot more agents to go after these cyber-crimes.
