Ransomware has become the ubiquitous threat of our times, and it’s not difficult to figure out why. Two drivers loom large. First, there’s the vast range of potential entry points available to bad actors, which in theory includes the credentials of every employee with access to a corporate network. Second, there’s the fact that the exploits themselves are relatively simple to monetise,thanks to crypto currencies that provide a simple and anonymous way to launder the proceeds of exploits.
