Ransomware to 'Wreak Havoc' on US Critical Infrastructure in 2016
Ransomware will “wreak havoc” on the United States’ critical infrastructure community in 2016, according to a report by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT).
ICIT’s”Ransomware Report” warned that unlike traditional malware actors, ransomware criminals can generate a steady revenue stream from targeting any system, whether it be mobile devices and personal computers or industrial control systems. ICIT says many of these devices are not secured “in the slightest” against a ransomware threat.
