Ransomware profits drop as victims stop paying hackers www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…
The number of victims paying ransomware threat actors has reached a new low, with just 23% of the breached companies giving in to attackers' demands.
With some exceptions, the decline in payment resolution rates continues the trend that Coveware has observed for the past six years.
In the first quarter of 2024, the payment percentage was 28%. Although it increased over the next period, it continued to drop, reaching an all-time low in the third quarter of 2025.
