Ransomware has targeted around 82% Indian organizations in the last 12 months, As per a report, the attacks cost Indian organisations an average of Rs. 8 crore as they addressed its impact, which included business downtime, lost orders and operational costs.

About 66% of organizations whose data was encrypted had to pay the ransom. However 29% of IT managers managed to recover their data from their backups without giving in to the demands of attackers. It further says, organisations that were targeted by ransomware were located in metros and other larger cities such as Delhi (85%), Bengaluru (83%), Kolkata (81%), Mumbai (81%), Chennai (79%) and Hyderabad (74%).
