Yet a persistent menace over the past few years has been ransomware. Now mainly targeting organizations rather than consumers, and with increasingly sophisticated tools and tactics at their disposal, the cybercriminals behind these campaigns have been turning up the heat during the COVID-19 pandemic. That\u2019s why we need industry partnerships like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomoreransom.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No More Ransom.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Celebrating its fourth anniversary this week, the initiative has helped over four million victims fight the scourge of ransomware, saving hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. At Trend Micro, we\u2019re proud to have played a major part, helping to decrypt over 77 million files for victims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not going anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ransomware has been with us for years, but only really hit the mainstream after the global WannaCry and NotPetya incidents of 2017. Unfortunately, that was just the start. Today, no sector is safe. We saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/vinfo\/us\/security\/research-and-analysis\/threat-reports\/roundup\/the-sprawling-reach-of-complex-threats\">attacks rage across<\/a> US municipalities, school districts and hospitals in 2019. Most recently, a major outage at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/technology-53553576\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">connected technology giant<\/a> impacted everything from consumer fitness trackers to on-board flight systems.<\/p>\n<p>Such attacks can hit victim organizations hard. There are serious reputational and financial repercussions from major service outages, and the stakes have been raised even further as attackers now often steal data before encrypting victims\u2019 files. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackbaud.com\/securityincident\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent incident<\/a> at a US cloud computing provider has led to data compromise at over 20 universities and charities in the UK and North America, for example. A separate ransomware attack on a managed service provider earlier this year <a href=\"https:\/\/cognizant.q4cdn.com\/123993165\/files\/doc_financials\/2020\/q1\/Q120-Earnings-Supplement_vF-(Website).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may cost it up to $70m<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bad guys have shown no sign of slowing down during the pandemic \u2014 quite the reverse. Even as hospitals have been battling to save the lives of patients battling COVID-19, they\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/2020\/04\/01\/microsoft-works-with-healthcare-organizations-to-protect-from-popular-ransomware-during-covid-19-crisis-heres-what-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">been targeted by ransomware <\/a>designed to lock mission-critical systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No More Ransom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we need to celebrate public-private partnerships like No More Ransom, which provides helpful advice for victims and a free decryption tool repository. Over the past four years it has helped 4.2 million visitors from 188 countries, preventing an estimated $632 million in ransom demands finding its way into the pockets of cyber-criminals.<\/p>\n<p>At Trend Micro, we\u2019re proud to have been an associate partner from the very start, contributing our own decryption tools to the scores available today to <u>unlock 140 separate ransomware types<\/u>. Since the start of No More Ransom, Trend Micro tools have been downloaded nearly half a million times, helping over 50,000 victims globally to decrypt more than 77 million files. We simply can\u2019t put a price on this kind of intervention.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-544390\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL.png\" alt width=\"2339\" height=\"3308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL.png 2339w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-1448x2048.png 1448w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-640x905.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-900x1273.png 900w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-440x622.png 440w, https:\/\/blog.trendmicro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/TL-380x537.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2339px) 100vw, 2339px\"><\/p>\n<p>Yet while the initiative is a vital response to the continued threat posed by ransomware, it is not all we can do.
