Cybercriminals have been turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to further their ransomware attacks, according to a new report by the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS).
The new report, “Ransomware Threat Outlook 2025-27,” looks at the trends of ransomware crimes and its impact on Canadians and Canadian organizations. Ransomware is software used by hackers to gain access to a phone or other device and encrypt, steal or erase data and demand a payment or ransom to restore it, according to the CCCS.
