"In 2023, the US was once again battered by a barrage of financially motivated ransomware attacks that denied Americans access to critical services, compromised their personal information, and probably killed some of them," the New Zealand-based infosec firm noted.
There's also the high-profile private-sector entities that fell victim to extortionists last year - including Boeing, MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, and Dish Network. Now that it's mandatory for listed companies to disclose ransomware attacks, per the US Securities and Exchange Commission's rules that took effect at the end of last year, we'd expect the number of reported infections to increase in 2024.
