Moving ahead into the second half of 2019,\nransomware is expected to continue to evolve through manual and blended attacks\nwith worm-like functionality, as well as more paired attacks with other malware\nfamilies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis year we have noticed ransomware making\nmore headlines than ever before as a resurgence in ransomware turned its sights\nto large, ill-prepared public and private organizations with easy to exploit\nvulnerabilities such as cities, non-profits and educational institutions,\u201d said\nAdam Kujawa, Director of Malwarebytes Labs. \u201cOur critical infrastructure needs\nto adapt and arm themselves against these threats as they continue to be\ntargets of cybercriminals, causing great distress to all the people who depend\non public services and trust these entities to protect their personal\ninformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlights from the report include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Overall ransomware detections\nagainst businesses between Q2 2018 and Q2 2019 have risen by <strong>363 percent.<\/strong><\/li><li>From 2018 to 2019, Malwarebytes\nsaw a <strong>235 percent increase<\/strong> in threats aimed at organizations from\nenterprises to small businesses, with ransomware as a major contributor. <\/li><li>Municipalities, educational\ninstitutions, and healthcare organizations became prime targets, likely because\nof legacy infrastructure, outdated hardware and software applications, and lack\nof security funding in these sectors.<\/li><li>Top ransomware families overall\ninclude: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/detections\/ransom-gandcrab\/\">GandCrab<\/a>,\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/cybercrime\/malware\/2019\/01\/ryuk-ransomware-attacks-businesses-over-the-holidays\/\">Ryuk<\/a>,\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/threat-analysis\/2019\/03\/spotlight-troldesh-ransomware-aka-shade\/\">Troldesh<\/a>,\nRapid and Locky.
