Why Akira could be the next big thing in ransomware
Briefly

The Akira ransomware is every bit as dangerous as other well-known ransomware groups, despite not being as popular, according to cybersecurity researcher Scott Small.
Akira's utilization of less common tactics such as FTP for file exfiltration makes it stand out, highlighting the group's creativity and persistence in cyber attacks.
Core cyber-hygiene practices can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to Akira and similar attacks, showcasing the importance of basic security measures.
Small emphasizes that organizations of all sizes are potential targets for Akira, urging the implementation of security updates and vigilance to combat cyber threats.
