According to NCC Group's Threat Pulse report, ransomware attacks dropped by 31% in April 2025, with a majority occurring in Europe and North America. Despite the declining numbers, high-profile incidents within the retail sector, such as attacks on Marks and Spencer and Co-op, are raising concerns about the far-reaching impacts of ransomware. Matt Hull, head of NCC threat intelligence, emphasizes that while fewer victims were reported, this should not diminish the seriousness of ongoing threats that may remain unreported.
The recent attacks on the UK retail sector have laid bare just how disruptive and far-reaching these ransomware incidents can be.
While the number of reported ransomware victims declined further in April, it would be a mistake to assume that this is a sign that the threat is fading.
