Multiextortion tactics are on the rise. Threat actors are increasingly using data theft and harassment tactics to coerce victims into paying large ransoms.
In fact, harassment as an extortion tactic was a factor in about 20% of Unit 42's monthly ransomware cases, on average, up from <1% over 18 months. That's 20X growth.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it's imperative to understand your adversaries, reexamine your security posture and implement a more in-depth incident response plan to boost defenses.
In the presentation, our security expert, Adrian Diaz, Technical Director, Unit 42 will unpack key findings from our 2023 Unit 42 Ransomware and Extortion Report and recently released 2024 Unit 42 Incident Response report.
