Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Ransomware is part of the hidden war actually happening around the world in the cyber area, in the digital world. Not just private bad actors, like hackers, but also States which are not friendly are committing this crime and others like DoS attacks etc. And while companies and institutions are much more aware than before is surprising how much this crime is growing all around the world. Criminals of any type are always a step ahead. Please, protect yourself and help protecting others.
