Ransomware continues to dominate the global cyber threat landscape, with manufacturing (14%) and professional services (11%) among the most targeted industries. LockBit, Cl0p, and Play ransomware groups lead the attack landscape, responsible for a significant share of incidents. The United States remains the most affected country, followed by the United Kingdom and Canada.

In 2023, ransomware activity surged, peaking in February 2024, reflecting attackers’ evolving tactics and increased sophistication. Critical data exposure remains a growing concern, as 81.4% of attacks are victim announcements, while 18.6% involve threat actors leaking sensitive data for unpaid ransoms.
