July – September 2023
The GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team’s (GRIT) latest quarterly ransomware analysis report highlights a nearly 15% increase in ransomware activity since Q2 due to an increased number of ransomware groups, including 10 new Emerging groups tracked during Q3.
In the third quarter, GRIT tracked 1,353 publicly posted ransomware victims claimed by 46 different threat groups. Through the first three quarters of 2023, GRIT has tracked a total of 3,385 publicly posted ransomware victims claimed by 57 different threat groups, representing an 83% YoY increase. This report is based on data obtained from publicly available resources, including threat groups themselves, and insight into the ransomware threat landscape.
“Q3 of 2023 marked the largest volume of public ransomware victims that GRIT has observed since we began tracking the ransomware ecosystem for the last 2 plus years,” said Drew Schmitt, Practice Lead, GRIT. “The ransomware ecosystem as a whole is on pace to nearly double its number of publicly posted victims year over year.”
