2019: Year of Ransomware

by | Aug 13, 2019

This year at the Transform 2019 – GrayMatter’s annual Industrial Intelligence Conference – which took place at Put-In-Bay, Ohio, ransomware was the lead discussion. It is said that over the past decade energy, water and waste water systems, food and agriculture, chemical, commercial facilities and transportation systems are among the top commonly targeted corporations for a ransomware attack. This year alone many high-profile cities in the United States have been targeted such as:

•     Lake City, Florida

•     The city of Baltimore

•     Cleveland Hopkins Airport, Ohio

•     Augusta, Maine

•     The city of Tallahassee

•     Albany, New York
