The report from Searchlight Cyber indicates a worrying evolution in the ransomware landscape, featuring a 56% increase in active groups and the rise of new actors.
With LockBit remaining dominant despite some disruptions, other gangs like RansomHub have emerged quickly, highlighting the adaptive nature of these criminal organizations in the cyber ecosystem.
The decline in listed victims may suggest stronger law enforcement measures are beginning to affect ransomware activities, but the generally increased number of groups complicates the overall threat.
The Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model continues to be a favorite among the top ransomware groups, showcasing an ongoing trend of operational specialization within cybercriminal networks.
