Ransomware Attacks Take a Heavy Toll

Cybersecurity Professionals Report Psychological and Physical Strain

Ransomware attacks are causing psychological and physical harm to cybersecurity professionals, according to research from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

Infosec professionals report stress, burnout, and serious health issues linked to dealing with ransomware incidents. The study reveals cases of hospitalization, heart attacks, and even suicidal thoughts among security specialists. The industry’s challenging work environment, poor staffing levels, and high workloads contribute to the mental and physical toll.

The report also highlights financial and social harms, including strained relationships and impacts on personal lives.
