2023 State of Ransomware
So far in 2023, ransomware gangs hit the US, Germany, France, and the UK hard, with the US shouldering a hefty 43% of all global attacks. Some groups are even exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, allowing them to cast a wider net of victims.
But with knowledge of the bad guys comes the power to defeat them.
In this report, we look at the top ransomware gangs and equip your organization with the intel needed to counter their attack techniques.
1,900 total ransomware attacks on just four countries in one year
Education, healthcare, and services are the sectors most at risk
CL0P and MalasLocker are rewriting the ransomware playbook
Use of zero-day exploits in ransomware attacks are growing
Key findings
What's inside
Our 2023 Ransomware Report unpacks the action in four zones: the US, Germany, France, and the UK.
We highlight in particular the ascension of the CL0P group, which has effectively harnessed zero-day vulnerabilities to amplify its attacks.
This isn't just a one-off, it's an emerging trend with potential to redefine the game. If more groups start adopting CL0P's zero-day exploitation techniques, the ransomware landscape could tilt from service-oriented attacks to a more aggressive, vulnerability-focused model—a move that could skyrocket the impact of attacks.
