What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malware that takes control of an infected computer or phone and locks users out of all access unless they pay a ransom. Devices usually become infected when users click on an infected link or download an infected file.
The scheme originally started in Russia but has been a global issue over the past four years. Victims are usually required to pay a ransom of between $100 and $500 or risk permanently losing all their data.

Findings
According to Intel’s chief technology officer Raj Samani, the company found 700,000 cases of ransomware on customers’ computers, phones and networks in Q1. Samani also mentioned the rise of “sleeper” versions of ransomware that take control of storage devices during data backups.
Adobe Attacks
The study also revealed that malware attacks on Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE)'s Flash software climbed a whopping 317 percent in Q1.
Customers worried about these types of malware attacks should make sure they have installed the most up-to-date Adobe software, as many attacks take advantage of out-of-date software.

While most people are rightfully concerned about the growing danger of cyber-attacks, cybersecurity companies are profiting off of it.
Shares of FireEye Inc (NASDAQ: FEYE) are up more than 57 percent in the past year, while Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ: PANW) stock is up 121 percent in that time.
