Cyber criminals are always evolving strategies for exploitation. One of the most pervasive and damaging threats from last year—ransomware attacks—have become increasingly sophisticated in recent months. The threats that victims face no longer are just a choice between paying for an encryption key or having their sensitive data publicly exposed. A ransomware attack may now employ multilevel extortion techniques—such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or harassing an organization’s customers.

  • Front-line learnings from responding to multifaceted extortion incidents
  • What has changed over the past 6 months
