Can ransomware be a profitable venture for hackers, and what motivates them to launch such attacks?
Ransomware can indeed be a profitable venture for hackers. Hackers are motivated to launch ransomware attacks primarily by financial gains. When victims pay the ransom demanded by the attackers, it can result in significant payouts for the hackers. Additionally, the relative anonymity and low risk of detection associated with ransomware attacks further incentivize hackers to engage in such activities.
