In 2024, global ransomware attacks reached a total of 5,414 incidents, reflecting an 11% increase compared to 2023.
Despite a slow start, attacks intensified in the second quarter and experienced a sharp rise in the fourth quarter, with 1,827 incidents, accounting for 33% of the annual total. Law enforcement actions against major groups like LockBit caused fragmentation within the ransomware ecosystem, generating more competition and an increase in the number of smaller gangs. As a result, the number of active ransomware groups grew by 40%, rising from 68 in 2023 to 95 in 2024.
