Cyber Security Hub Releases Global Report on Cryptocurrency

NEW YORK - Oct. 23, 2018 - PRLog -- Cyber Security Hub announced the release of their 2018 Global Report: Cryptocurrency's Role In Cyber-Attacks.

As ransomware continues to place added pressure on CISOs and the remaining enterprise security staffers, cryptocurrency payments appear to be the transaction method of choice. Enterprises of all sizes – SMBs, large enterprise – grapple with the question of whether to hoard bitcoins to ensure their response time is minimal if they're struck with a service-denying, data-stealing ransomware incident.

This report (https://www.cshub.com/attacks/reports/2018-global-report-cryptocurrencys-role-in-cyber-attacks) delves into whether to negotiate with the malicious actors for different terms and when to consult with a third-party incident response/forensics firm to conduct the correspondence and transaction(s).
