For years, cybercriminals have targeted software companies with ransomware attacks to gain access to private and sensitive data. Cybercriminals launched a ransomware attack on Blackbaud, a cloud-based software company in February 2020, and three months passed before they discovered and stopped the attack. They then waited another two months to alert the public.
