New Report from GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) Highlights 102% YoY Increase in Ransomware Victims, 56% YoY Increase in Number of Ransomware Groups
HERNDON, Va.: #cybersecurity--GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, announced today the release of the quarterly GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) Ransomware and Cyber Threat Report.
Covering the first quarter of 2025, the new GRIT 2025 Q1 Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report offers exclusive, detailed analysis of the evolving ransomware ecosystem, threat actor behaviors, and emerging cybercrime trends—including a historic high of 2,063 ransomware victims and 70 active ransomware groups.
"This record-breaking quarter was no coincidence," said Grayson North, Principal Security Consultant, GRIT. "We’re tracking more active ransomware and extortion groups than ever before, with a noticeable rise in high-volume attacks from emerging players formed out of disrupted gangs, like LockBit and AlphV. The pressing question now is whether this surge represents a residual short-term spike or the beginning of a dark year for ransomware victims."
The Ransomware and Cyber Threat Report also explores the Lazarus ByBit hack, the continued exploitation of web application vulnerabilities and global law enforcement efforts to dismantle the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) group 8Base.
Key findings from this quarter’s report include:
"While historical trends suggest we could see a seasonal slowdown as we approach the summer, the threat landscape remains volatile," North added. "A single large-scale exploit—like those we've seen from Clop—could once again shift the ecosystem’s trajectory. The conditions for another record-breaking year are firmly in place. It’s now up to the defenders to change that narrative."
The Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report is based on data obtained from publicly available resources, including threat groups themselves, as well as threat analyst insights into the ransomware threat landscape.
