Of the nearly 4,200 ransomware victims from 2020 and 2021 identified in a newly released report, 260 are in California, making the state the hardest hit in the nation
A new report by the cybersecurity company Abnormal Security highlights the growing threat from hackers, and as it turns California was the most targeted state for these kinds of ransomware attacks.
“It was very disruptive, very difficult and we are glad we got through it,” said Julia Robinson Shimizu. Director of Public Relations with Barlow Respiratory Hospital. “It was truly a hardship for our staff to have to work under those changed conditions,” Shimizu said. “To put that into perspective, if California was its own country, globally it would rank second in the world behind only the United States,” said Crane Hassold, director of Threat Intelligence at Abnormal Security, which authored the report.
