Of the successful attacks made, 80% of the attackers were found to have targeted known vulnerabilities.
A study conducted by Veeam – a backup, recovery and data management solutions provider – has found that 72% of organisations have had partial or complete attacks made against their backup repositories in 2021.
Titled Veeam 2022 Ransomware Trends Report, the study surveyed the views of 1,000 IT leaders whose organisations had been successfully attacked by ransomware at least once during the past 12 months.
