Not every cybercriminal is a technical wizard. Some just rent the tools. Welcome to Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) — a full-blown underground business where developers sell or lease ransomware kits to anyone willing to pay.

It’s like SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) — but for cyberattacks.
You get:

• Prebuilt payloads
• Customizable ransom notes
• Payment portals
• Even "customer support" from criminal groups

All a wannabe hacker needs is a wallet full of crypto and a little ambition. RaaS massively lowers the bar for launching ransomware attacks, making it one of the fastest-growing threats today.

Key defenses:

• Strong backup strategies
• Email and endpoint protections
• Employee awareness (stop the click-happy madness)

RaaS isn't just a trend — it’s the future of cybercrime automation.
