    Thought ransomware couldn’t get any worse?

    Ransomware gangs are now stealing victim’s data before unleashing ransomware – forcing victims to pay up or deal with the fallout when attackers post highly sensitive data for all to see.

    Once attackers gather up everything of value, they need to get it out – and they have a myriad of options for doing that: they can simply upload it via an HTTP post, email it, or share it with approved collaboration tools.

    Join Kilian and Kyle Roth from the Varonis Incident Response team as they walk through some ways that cybercriminal groups exfiltrate data. They’ll also provide tips on ways to spot an exfiltration attempt before it’s too late.

    Ransomware gangs are in it for the payout. To ensure maximum “conversion” rates for their victims to pay up, they often try to find as much sensitive or valuable data to steal before unleashing an attack and encrypting the victim's data.
