Ransomware has become so efficient, and the underground economy so
professional, that traditional monetization of stolen data may be on
its way out.

By Tara Seals

The past year has seen a staggering acceleration in ransomware
incidents, with 25% of all breaches containing a ransomware component.

That's the top-line finding in the 2022 Verizon Data Breach
Investigations Report (DBIR), which found that ransomware events in
conjunction with breaches ballooned 13% in the past year — last year's
report found that just 12% of incidents were ransomware-related. That
translates into a rate of increase that's more than the previous five
years of growth combined.
