Black Kite Unveils Monthly Ransomware Dashboards

Black Kite announced a monthly ransomware dashboard offering data-driven insights on top ransomware groups, victims, and attack patterns, including December findings such as 360+ monitored victims, prevalent MX/DNS misconfigurations enabling spoofing/phishing, widespread exposure of RDP/SMB services, and high-exploitability vulnerabilities in use. The report highlights LockBit’s continued dominance, the emergence of the WereWolves group, increased reliance on vulnerability exploitation, surges in certain countries tied to geopolitical factors, and elevated targeting of manufacturing, healthcare, and information sectors to help organizations understand and mitigate ransomware risk.
