“Victim shaming has long been a consequence of a cyberattack but we’ve made progress on that front, both within the security community and at the government level. New regulations on cyber incident reporting, for example, appear to have normalised engaging with law enforcement, and our survey data shows organisations are taking steps in the right direction,” says Chester Wisniewski, director, field CTO at Sophos.
According to cybersecurity company Sophos’, 97% of organisations in Singapore hit by ransomware last year sought law enforcement or official government bodies for help.
They mainly received advice on dealing with ransomware (69%) and got assistance from law enforcement to recover their data from the ransomware attack (62%).
