Ransomware Hit Nearly 50% Of Businesses In 2015: Study
Last year nearly half of businesses were attacked with ransomware, which caused 34% of enterprises to lose revenue and 20% to cease operations immediately.
This discovery comes from a new report called “State of Ransomware” (registration required) published by Malwarebytes. The anti-malware software vendor partnered with Osterman Research to learn more about the severity of the ransomware risk.
Their survey measured the frequency of cyber-security attacks, how attacks work within the enterprise, infiltration points, ransom cost, impact, and company preparedness, among other factors.
