Ransomware is the hacker “gift” that just keeps on giving, it seems. A 2017 study shows that more than half of ransomware victims got hit a second (or more) time, often with the same malware – and with ransomware attacks growing significantly since then, it's likely that many more organizations are getting hit multiple times.

It's a problem that especially affects enterprises. Half the companies in the study had 1,000 or more employees, a third had up to 10,000 employees, and 19% had more than 10,000. Enterprises are arguably in the best position to protect themselves from ransomware – they have the scale and resources to deploy the most advanced solutions – and yet they keep getting attacked – in “reruns,” to add insult to injury.
