Ransomware Is Accelerating, But It's Not Because of AI

Researchers attribute the acceleration of ransomware attacks to ecosystem fragmentation, new threat actors entering the market, and expanding targeting of organizations with weaker defenses, rather than artificial intelligence-driven acceleration.

Why it matters: Security teams should prioritize defense of smaller and less-resourced organizations while monitoring emerging ransomware groups that may lack established operational patterns.
