Vulnerabilities and Mitigation
Ransomware attacks typically exploit vulnerabilities in a company's IT infrastructure, often through external exposure or user actions. To mitigate the risk of such attacks, companies should follow best practices such as conducting regular file backups, securing their cloud environments, enforcing identity and access controls, creating a vulnerability management program, and employing a 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response solution.

Recent Ransomware Attacks
The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.
The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
