GuidePoint Security has published its April 2024 GRIT (GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team) Ransomware report.
Last month, research revealed one of the year’s biggest takeaways thus far: Play, a typically smaller ransomware group, has overtaken Alphv and LockBit for the top spot in April 2024.
Additional key highlights include vertical trends as manufacturing remains the most impacted industry, with technology resurging as a frequent target, healthcare and retail/wholesale continue to be in the Top 5 most impacted industries, a notable change from previous years.
With regards to geographical distribution, the US remains the most targeted country, while attacks in the south worldwide are increasingly attributed to newer, developing groups.
Additionally, the report explores the operations of emerging ransomware groups and their innovative tactics, including using lower-quality malware and exploiting historical vulnerabilities.
