Comparitech’s 2024 Ransomware Roundup reports that ransomware groups claimed 5,461 attacks in 2024 (1,204 publicly confirmed), with confirmed incidents resulting in 195.4 million breached records; average ransom demands exceeded $3.5M and average ransoms paid $9.5M. The review names the most prolific gangs (RansomHub, LockBit, Medusa, Play), identifies ALPHV/BlackCat as responsible for the largest volume of breached records, highlights large payouts (Dark Angels cited for a $75M payout), and warns that phishing/social engineering remain primary initial access vectors while exploits like Clop’s Cleo may drive additional breaches.
