Ransomware attacks frequently occur between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on weekends, particularly on Fridays, when companies have reduced activity and fewer IT staff available.
The time frame between initial access and data encryption in ransomware attacks has decreased to just 6 to 13 hours, emphasizing the need for swift detection and response measures.
Ransomware groups often operate from distant locations, limiting the effectiveness of legal actions and prosecution due to jurisdictional boundaries.
