Did you know that if cyber crime was a country, measured by GDP - it would be the third biggest economy, after USA and China. $10.5 Trillion!

Their business model is ransomware.

Keep this in mind as the number of companies hit is steadily increasing, and while the global economy turns into dust - this economy only grow stronger and bigger for each day.

What enables this economy is still people, because despite the development of computer science through the decades - ransomware still relies on people clicking on bad links, open attachments, being socially tricked by professional bad actors, and so on.

Criminal actors using WormGPT and other AI LLM's that are trained to create perfect phising emails, the future is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Stay safe out there!
