Cyber extortion involves an attack or threat of an attack followed by a demand for ransom. It can involve ransomware, distributed denial-of-service attacks, doxing, or other methods. Cyber extortionists typically gain access to an organization’s systems, identify weaknesses or valuable targets and demand payment to stop an attack or prevent one. The attacks can cause significant financial and reputational damage. Ransomware is a type of cyber extortion that uses malicious software to encrypt a victim’s files or lock them out of their systems and demands a ransom for decryption or access. Smaller organizations are more likely to be targeted due to their limited resources.
