Ransomware attacks are an “urgent” and “dramatically increasing” national security issue that requires a “whole-of-government” approach, to include robust international cooperation.
“One thing is clear: Ransomware is a national security threat,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said today in prepared remarks. He pledged that his department will implement many of the recommendations contained in a major report released today.

More often or not, Ransomware threats come more from nefarious people trying to scam the people... There are software apps that trap malware at the root level, & quarantine it, so it won't harm one's laptop, desktop, or server...Trend Micro sells a commercial anti-malware software that is darn good at ridding their customers of that problem... There is also a product called Malwarebytes and that is what I use & recommend I run reports for my son's IT company regarding Ransomware, and the threat occurrences seem to come in bunches on their client accounts, but more random than not... I have not seen a gross attack since I have been reporting on them... Beware, and make sure to purchase & install a good antivirus/malware SW app for your computer equipment...

Good morning, sir. Great big thanks for the info. My wife is the family IT guru and she has us protected as best as possible with a commercial program she found, it may be the one you're talking about.

I do love Malwarebytes, and those of us on a limited budget can use it free. :)

Some globalist bureaucrat is going to say we need to inoculate all of the computers in our nation with a ransomware vaccine. Don't worry there will not be any nefarious government spyware attached.
