A recently released survey by cloud security provider Barracuda Networks Inc. reveals that 73% of organizations experienced successful ransomware attacks last year. Further, of those organizations that were attacked once, 38% were attacked a second time and in many cases more.

Interestingly, there was a greater than 10% jump in likelihood that an affected organization would choose to pay out the ransom in order to regain access to their data/systems after an organization had been attacked for the third time when compared to organizations propensity to pay out after their first malware attack.
