🏆 New Achievement! Factory Floors, Meet The Scoreboard!
AND THE CROWD GOES WILD. Manufacturers are taking body blow after body blow — 1,183 ransomware incidents in just the first seven months of 2026, a brutal 40% surge over last year. Half the attackers swinging didn't even exist two years ago, fresh rookies hungry for operational-shutdown chaos. One newcomer, The Gentlemen, landed 12% of all hits solo, like a first-round knockout artist nobody scouted. (1/2)

Black Kite's 2026 Manufacturing and Distribution Ransomware Report confirms: supply chain disruption is the prize, and factories keep stepping into the ring underprepared. Segment your OT networks and enforce offline backups before The Gentlemen schedule a rematch. Reward: You've received a Participation Trophy — it's bolted to a production line that's currently offline. https://www.securityweek.com/ransomware-attacks-on-manufacturers-surge-as-supply-chain-risk-grows #Ransomware (2/2)
