Ransomware gangs skip the CEO, head straight for the 40-something IT manager

Ransomware gangs are targeting IT managers, specifically those in their 40s, rather than CEOs. This shift in targeting suggests that attackers may view IT managers as more vulnerable or accessible targets. The change in strategy may indicate that ransomware gangs are adapting their approaches to increase the likelihood of successful attacks. IT managers in this demographic may be at higher risk of being targeted by ransomware gangs. The targeting of IT managers could potentially provide attackers with greater access to an organization's systems and data.
