Ransomware in 2026: More groups, more victims, no slowdown
Black Kite's 2026 Ransomware Report finds a fragmented ransomware landscape with 61 new groups entering the market between April 2025 and March 2026, averaging more than one new group per week. Unlike previous years defined by dominant actors or major incidents, 2026 shows multiple ransomware playbooks scaling simultaneously with no signs of slowdown.
Why it matters: Security teams face an expanding threat surface as ransomware group proliferation creates more operational variants and attack vectors to defend against and monitor.
