CYFIRMA Research- Tracking Ransomware – August 2025
Stay ahead with CYFIRMA’s Monthly Ransomware Report – Aug 2025.
CYFIRMA’s August 2025 Ransomware Report recorded 522 global victims, a slight dip but still far above 2023–24 levels. Qilin led with 84 attacks, while Akira surged by 35% targeting SonicWall VPNs and abusing Intel drivers for BYOVD evasion. Charon adopted APT-grade stealth, and 4L4MD4R blended Chinese ToolShell exploits with ransomware deployment. AI abuse accelerated with Claude enabling RaaS and PromptLock showcasing LLM-powered ransomware. Emerging groups Yurei, Desolator, and Anubis expanded globally, with the U.S., Canada, and UK most affected, and professional services, consumer services, and manufacturing hit hardest.
