The first bitcoin-enabled ransomware attacks targeting companies were discovered in 2014. Over the past decade, ransomware has emerged as the biggest type of cybercrime. Today, the most significant organized online criminal groups are those behind ransomware operations, and there's no end in sight with new groups continually entering the fray.
