What is Ransomware as a Service (RaaS)? The dangerous threat to world security
Ransomware attacks are on a steep upward trend and the gradient isn't softening its progression. In Q3 2020, ransomware attacks have increased globally by 40% to 199.7 million cases. In the U.S. alone, attacks have increased by 139% year-over-year, totaling 145.2 million cases in Q3 2020. The impetus to the sudden recent spike in ransomware attacks, was the dramatic shift from a linear attack model, to an insidious multi-dimensional Ransomware as a Service model.
