Ransomware gangs were busy in 2022, targeting the education sector right at the beginning of the new school year, forcing services offline at major hospitals, and hitting major enterprises such as cloud service providers and a prominent cybersecurity vendor.
Several government advisories were also issued last year, warning of significant threats posed by multiple ransomware groups. Hive was especially active and claimed responsibility for three attacks against the education sector in November and one in December, according to TechTarget Editorial's ransomware database.
