GuidePoint Security has published its monthly GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team’s (GRIT) Ransomware Report, which observed interesting ransomware movements in April 2023.

The findings reveal the intensity of ransomware operations in April decreased from the preceding month across heavily attacked countries and industries. Notably, attacks on threat groups targeting government, automotive, transportation, telecommunications, and legal sectors saw a significant drop.

The report analyzes: 

• How do top ransomware victims by country and geographic implications compare to the past?
• What were the most active threat groups targeting which most frequently impacted industries? 
• Why distinguish ransomware groups into categories: full-time, rebrand, splinter, and ephemeral?
• Which ransomware trends and new threat actor groups were tracked last month?
