The ransomware surge
The difficulty with ransomware attacks and the like, is that it&#x27;s less a technical problem and more a people problem.<p>IT departments will never have enough money&#x2F;time&#x2F;staff to keep systems up to date with the latest OS (look at the number of people still running critical systems on Windows XP).<p>Users will always open attachments from people they don&#x27;t know, click links, or even pick up random USB sticks.<p>The perpetrators know this. They don&#x27;t need to be more sophisticated than the InfoSec people at a given organisation, they just need to trick one user in that organisation in to letting them on to the network.
