Compromised Logins Surge as the Most Common Entry Point for Ransomware Attacks
Sophos research shows that identity-based threats such as phishing and brute force attacks have become the primary delivery method for ransomware, overtaking software vulnerabilities. Compromised logins now represent the most common entry point for ransomware incidents according to the analysis.
Why it matters: Ransomware defenders and identity teams must prioritize securing login credentials and detecting unauthorized access attempts, as these are now the primary attack vector rather than unpatched software.
