Hot Take:

Well, if there was an Olympics for cybercrime, September 2023 would take home the gold. With a whopping 514 ransomware attacks, it's clear that cybercriminals were working overtime, probably guzzling down energy drinks while they wreak havoc on innocent systems. The usual suspects, Cl0p and LockBit 3.0, were joined by a newbie, LostTrust - or should we say MetaEncryptor in a new disguise? And let's not forget about RansomedVC, who not only steals your data but tattles on you to the data protection watchdog. Talk about adding insult to injury!
