The BlackCat ransomware attack unfolded with unprecedented audacity, not only encrypting critical files but also strategically disabling servers. The attackers claimed to have stolen a colossal $22 million ransom, creating chaos and financial distress for the affected organizations.

The Need for a Paradigm Shift: Detect and Respond to Isolation and Containment
