Ransomware Surges in July After Q2 Lull

Ransomware attacks increased in July following a quieter second quarter, with finance, technology, and healthcare sectors bearing the heaviest impact. Comparitech's analysis tracked the uptick across these three verticals during the month.

Why it matters: Finance, technology, and healthcare organizations should review their ransomware defenses and incident response readiness; the seasonal shift suggests heightened attacker activity in critical sectors.
