Why has ransomware evolved into a national security concern?
Ransomware has evolved into a national security concern due to its increasing sophistication, widespread impact on critical infrastructure, and potential to disrupt essential services, including healthcare, finance, and public safety. This type of cyber threat can also target governmental institutions, compromising sensitive information, and even holding data hostage for ransom, which can undermine national security by disrupting government operations and causing economic damage on a large scale.
