SpyCloud has discovered that infostealer malware infections are an early warning signal for ransomware. In fact, nearly a third of ransomware victim companies this year were infected with infostealer malware like Raccoon, Vidar or Redline before they were attacked. Are you thinking about infostealers as a precursor to ransomware? SpyCloud believes that knowing what criminals have stolen from your managed, unmanaged and undermanaged infected machines is step one to stopping ransomware attacks.
