What are some real-world examples of ransomware attacks, and how were they mitigated?
One major example of a ransomware attack is the 2017 WannaCry outbreak, which spread across 150 countries and impacted hospitals, banks, and companies. Another is the Colonial Pipeline attack in 2021, which disrupted fuel supplies in the U.S. Mitigation involved isolating infected systems, restoring backups, applying security patches, and improving incident response. Organizations also adopted stronger endpoint protection and network monitoring. Enrolling in Cyber security training courses helps professionals learn how to prevent, detect, and respond effectively to such threats.
