A ransomware group by the name of BlackByte attacked the San Francisco 49ers network security before the start of the Super Bowl which encrypted files on their IT corporate network. Law enforcement and cybersecurity firms were notified and investigating this attack. This attack came one day before the FBI released an alert regarding this ransomware group compromising numerous US and foreign businesses. If the 49ers would have made it to the Super Bowl, there would be more of a possibility that the ransomware issue would have grown to an even bigger issue.
