Ransomware attacks have become a major geopolitical issue. The recent 2021 G7 summit in Cornwall issued a final communiqué calling on Russia to, “hold to account those within its borders who conduct ransomware attacks,” while also committing the G7 to collaborate in order, “to urgently address the escalating shared threat”.
