Understanding the multi-tiered impact of ransomware. [Research Saturday]

This week we are joined by Jamie MacColl and Dr. Pia Hüsch from RUSI discussing their work on "Ransomware: Victim Insights on Harms to Individuals, Organisations and Society." The research reveals some of the harms caused by ransomware, including physical, financial, reputational, psychological and social harms. Researchers state "Based on interviews with victims and incident responders, this paper outlines the harm ransomware causes to organisations, individuals, the UK economy, national security and wider society."
