CYFIRMA Research- Tracking ransomware: February 2025
Description
Stay ahead of evolving ransomware threats with CYFIRMA’s Monthly Ransomware Report – February 2025. Ransomware activity surged by 87.45% in February month, with Cl0p witnessing an alarming 453% rise. Manufacturing, FMCG, and Transportation sectors faced the highest spike in attacks. The U.S. remained the top target, followed by Canada, the U.K., Germany, and France. Notably, China-linked actors exploited a Check Point vulnerability to deploy ShadowPad and ransomware.
New ransomware groups, including Anubis, Linkc Pub, and RunSomeWares, emerged, while law enforcement dismantled the 8Base ransomware group. Ghost ransomware continues to target critical sectors, and Black Basta’s attack on Southern Water cost £4.5M. With sophisticated tactics such as zero-day exploits, multi-stage infections, and sophisticated phishing, ransomware groups are evolving rapidly.
