Whilst commonly referred to as Ransomware, we define “Cyber Extortion” (Cy-X) as a form of computer crime in which the security of a digital asset (Confidentiality, Integrity, or Availability) is compromised and exploited in a threat of some form to extort payment.
Astonishing key facts from the report:
Orange Cyberdefense has been observing the threat of Cy-X since the beginning of 2020. Since then, we have built a rich dataset of the victims that have fallen to Cy-X attacks. Our data includes details of over 11,200 victims. Combined with technical insight provided by our CERT and CSIRT teams in the field, the data in this report provides unique insight into the scale, scope, nature, and probable trajectory of the Cy-X threat.
