Are ransomware attacks really on the decline? Recently, we’ve noted that some vendors in the cybersecurity industry have reported a decrease in the overall number of ransomware attacks.

BlackFog has been tracking ransomware for the past several years and this is not a trend that we are seeing. In fact, our data shows an increasing volume of attacks and an escalation of unreported attacks. We’ve also seen a considerable lag time between an attack and disclosure as there is a growing trend by organisations to delay or attempt to cover up an attack due to the associated stigma with becoming a victim.
