Thanks to the Clop ransomware group and its exploit of a flaw in Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT secure file transfer tool, March 2023 was a record-breaking month for ransomware attacks.

New figures from NCC Group claim there had been 459 ransomware attacks recorded in March 2023 - up 91% compared to February, and up 62% compared to the same month in the previous year.
