Busy Year Ahead
There’s no reason to think 2022 won’t be every bit as busy as 2021 when it comes to cyberattacks, Samani said.
“It will be a busy year,” he said. “This year we rolled out from log4j, straight into pseudo ransomware attacks,” he said. “If January is anything to go by, this year will bring many more critical events to address.”
In pseudo ransomware attacks, the attacks look like a ransomware attack and even provide a ransom note. However, the attack is malware designed to render targeted devices inoperable rather than to get a ransom.
