Blink and You’ll Miss It: The Lightning-Fast Evolution of Ransomware Attacks

In the cybercrime supermarket sweep, Ransomware Attack Dwell Time is now down to a speedy 24 hours. Like a malicious Jack Bauer, cyber baddies now go from breach to ransomware deployment in a day. It’s a trend as consistent as your favorite sitcom reruns, but with a plot twist of growing infostealer activity.

Hot Take:

Well, folks, it seems the cyber baddies have upped their game. They've gone from taking their sweet time, to rushing through victim's networks like they're in a supermarket sweep. In the grim world of cyber crime, ransomware deployment has become a game of speed, with an average 'dwell time' (that's the period between initial breach and ransomware deployment for the uninitiated) now down to just 24 hours. It's like a twisted episode of 24, with less Jack Bauer and more malicious code.
