Targeted ransomware attacks are becoming more common as an increasing number of businesses adopt Linux systems, new research from Trend Micro has found.
Overall, it says 63 billion threats were blocked by the company’s systems in the first half of 2022 alone, which Trend Micro says represents a significant 52% increase compared with the same period in 2021.
In an effort to fight off unwelcome attacks, companies are combining multiple malware tools to ensure that they cover all bases, however Trend Micro’s concern is that “threat actors are able to weaponize these flaws faster than vendors can release patch updates”.
