Ransomware’s Evolution to Digital Extortion: The New Frontline of Cybercrime

🛡️ Bitdefender presents CYBERCRIME: From the Frontline—the podcast that takes you inside real-life cyberattacks. In this episode, we’re looking at 35 years of ransomware attacks. 

The code and targets were simple and small to start, but decades later, the attackers are faster, apply more leverage, and operate more like a business than ever before. 

🔊 Topics covered in this episode include: 

↪︎ The earliest days of ransomware attacks 
↪︎ Ransomware’s evolution to double and extortion attacks 
↪︎ What are quadruple extortion attacks, and why they’re on the rise 
↪︎ The ways attackers are leveraging compliance frameworks to increase the odds organizations will pay a ransom 
↪︎ The future of ransomware, designed to limit detection 

Host Dan Berte is joined by Bitdefender VP of Threat Research Dragos Gavrilut, Team Lead of the Bitdefender Cyber Intelligence Fusion Cell Sean Nikkel, and Bitdefender Senior Security Researcher Radu Tudorica for this week’s conversation about ransomware’s 35 years of evolution.
