Schools and universities are paying higher ransomware demands

Ransomware.

The majority of schools and universities suffering a ransomware attack end up paying more than the initial demand, a new report has claimed.

Polling 600 cybersecurity and IT leaders in the education sector, Sophos learned over half (55%) of those working in lower education, and 67% of those working in higher education, ended up paying more than what hackers originally asked for.
