44% and Rising: What the Automotive Industry's Ransomware Problem Tells Us About Where Attacks Are Heading

Ransomware attacks targeting automotive organizations more than doubled in 2025, with such incidents now accounting for 44% of reported ransomware cases. The trend suggests attackers are increasingly focused on the automotive sector as a lucrative and potentially vulnerable target.

Why it matters: Automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers face escalating ransomware risk that could disrupt production, compromise supply chains, and affect operations; practitioners should reassess security posture, backup strategies, and incident response plans specific to this threat landscape.
