In this special edition of CyberWire Daily’s 10th anniversary series, N2K CyberWire's Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner consider the tactics, trends, and turning points that shaped the threat landscape over the last decade of ransomware.

Ransomware has evolved from small-scale extortion and opportunistic attacks to sprawling, sophisticated, organized crime and state-sponsored attacks. Cryptocurrency plays a pivotal role in enabling ransomware's growth by providing untraceable payment methods.

Join us as we explore key incidents like WannaCry and NotPetya, the shift from street crime to organized and nation-state cyber threats, and AI's impact on the future of ransomware.
