Ransomware attackers are becoming more skilled at data encryption, experts warn

According to Chester Wisniewski, field CTO at Sophos, the rate of encryption has returned to very high levels after a temporary dip during the pandemic, which is concerning. Wisniewski also said that paying ransoms not only enriches criminals, but it also slows incident response and adds cost to an already devastatingly expensive situation.
