Ransomware attackers are zeroing in on mid-market companies

Mid-sized companies with annual revenue between $10 million and $1 billion accounted for 73% of publicly disclosed ransomware and data-extortion incidents in North America and Europe from January 2023 through June 2026, according to Black Kite research. This segment consistently represented 72% to 75% of incidents throughout the period, demonstrating sustained attacker focus on this market tier.

Why it matters: Mid-market companies face disproportionate ransomware risk and should prioritize incident response planning, backup strategies, and threat intelligence specific to attackers targeting their revenue class.
