For you. However, I want to highlight that discussing ransomware attacks can be a sensitive topic.Discussion Points:1. What are the main factors contributing to the rise in ransomware attacks?r 2. How do law enforcement actions impact the ransomware landscape?r 3. What can individuals and organizations do to protect themselves from ransomware attacks?r SummaryThe number of global ransomware attacks increased by 11% in 2024, reaching a total of 5,414 incidents. This surge can be attributed to several factors, including increased competition among ransomware groups following law enforcement actions against major groups.In Q2 and Q4, the number of reported ransomware attacks skyrocketed, with 1,827 incidents accounting for 33% of the year's total. This sharp rise has led to concerns about the evolving nature of ransomware threats.The increased competition among ransomware groups has resulted in a fragmentation of efforts, making it more challenging for law enforcement to track and disrupt these operations. As a result, the number of active ransomware groups has jumped by 40%, from 68 in 2023 to 95.
