ransomware

Government Agencies Falling Victim to Ransomware Daily, Warns Study

A study warns that government agencies face daily ransomware attacks. Attackers exploit the fact that public agencies cannot tolerate service disruptions and are thus more likely to pay ransoms.

Why it matters: Government IT and security teams face persistent targeting; practitioners should prioritize backup and recovery strategies, network segmentation, and incident response planning to reduce ransom leverage.
