In response to this growing threat, the Cybersecurity Observatory of Unipegaso's Malware Lab, led by Pierluigi Paganini, has released its inaugural report on Sarcoma Ransomware.
Experts emphasize the importance of timely patching, network segmentation, and increasing user awareness as essential strategies to combat the sophisticated tactics used by Sarcoma Ransomware.
Sarcoma Ransomware, which was first detected in late 2024, has rapidly become one of the most active ransomware groups worldwide.
