Complaints about ransomware attacks on US infrastructure rise 9%, FBI says

Quick Summary:

WASHINGTON :Ransomware was the most pervasive cyber threat to critical infrastructure in 2024 as complaints regarding such attacks jumped 9 per cent over 2023, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Their “incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect” on public health and security, according to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

The increase in ransomware complaints was concerning, the agency said, given several high-profile international law enforcement operations targeting ransomware operators and cybercrime forums last year.
