30 MAR K E TWATCH Cybercriminals are increasingly using ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) to access organisations’ data, according to Microsoft’s second Cyber Signals report, which highlights security trends and insights from its 43 trillion security signals and 8,500 security experts. To execute an attack via RaaS, criminals purchase or rent ransomware from a developer so they can deploy it against specific targets, often vulnerable organisations with exposed credentials or existing malware footholds in their network. Microsoft recommends basic defences like multifactor authentication to combat ransomware infiltration routes before malware deployment.
