2021 Trends Show Increased Globalized Threat of Ransomware
In 2021, cybersecurity authorities in the United States,[1][2][3] Australia,[4] and the United Kingdom[5] observed an increase in sophisticated, high-impact ransomware incidents against critical infrastructure organizations globally. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the
National Security Agency (NSA) observed incidents
involving ransomware against 14 of the 16 U.S.
critical infrastructure sectors, including the Defense
Industrial Base, Emergency Services, Food and
Agriculture, Government Facilities, and Information
Technology Sectors. The Australian Cyber Security
Centre (ACSC) observed continued ransomware
targeting of Australian critical infrastructure entities,
including in the Healthcare and Medical, Financial Services and Markets, Higher Education and Research, and Energy Sectors. The United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK) recognizes ransomware as the biggest cyber threat facing the United Kingdom. Education is one of the top UK sectors targeted by ransomware actors, but the NCSC-UK has also seen attacks targeting businesses, charities, the legal profession, and public services in the Local Government and Health Sectors.
