A study revealed by digital forensics firm, Crypsis Group, shows an actively growing trend in the ransoms demanded by ransomware attackers. Amounts sharply rose 200% from 2018 to 2019.
According to the 2020 Incident Response and Data Breach Report, it’s no surprise that cybercriminals have claimed “exorbitant” crypto ransoms in the past three years. The firm pointed out that the median amount of funds demanded as ransom was $115,123.
