With ransomware attacks on the rise, US launches new site to combat the threat

The US government has a new website that aims to combat the threat of ransomware.

The site pulls together resources from multiple federal agencies.

Individuals and organizations previously had to visit several government websites to locate ransomware guidance, alerts and updates.

“Cyber criminals have targeted critical infrastructure, small businesses, hospitals, police departments, schools and more.

These attacks directly impact Americans' daily lives and the security of our nation.”

The announcement follows several notable ransomware attacks in the US.
