Annual Dark Web Report 2025

The Annual Dark Web Report 2025 provides a data-driven overview of the underground cybercrime economy, combining activity telemetry and pricing intelligence across ransomware, phishing, stealer malware, and illicit markets; key findings include the United States’ outsized share of ransomware (41.42%) and phishing (66.20%) activity, public administration’s leading exposure, the dominance of data/database leaks (64.06%), and pricing that lowers barriers for low-skill actors (stealers from $15, DDoS from $20, phishing panels under $500) while advanced capabilities like zero-day exploits can reach $150,000—context intended to help security leaders understand where risk concentrates and how attacks scale.
