Ransomware attacks are increasing significantly each year, with a new organization falling victim every 14 seconds in 2019 and every 11 seconds by 2021. The annual global cost of cybercrime is expected to exceed $6 trillion by 2021. In the US alone last year, ransomware potentially cost over $7.5 billion across government agencies, healthcare organizations, schools, and cities like Baltimore and New Orleans. Hackers justify these illegal activities as being "soldiers in the war" for their countries.
