Casino Ransomware on the Rise



One of the more heavily RANSOMWARE targeted industries in recent months is CASINOS.


ooo A recent FBI alert warns, "...identified notorious ransomware groups, including Bitpaymer, Conti, Cuba, REvil, Ryuk and Snatch...have launched successful attacks on casinos, shutting down operations and stealing data.” Source



Recent Statistics:


"Experts estimate that a ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds in 2021...


60% of survey respondents experienced revenue loss and 53% stated their brands were damaged as a result." Source


“Many organizations think of ransomware as an isolated attack similar to the 2016 WannaCry, but the reality is that ransomware is often deployed as part of a larger attack." Source


ooo Unfortunately, ransomware can play the long game. It can work its way through networks, admin systems, backups, and critical data – conjuring devastation along the way over weeks, months, or even longer – unbeknownst to organizations.



We are here to help.
