Can you really make more than $200M in six months without encrypting victims? It seems Silent Ransom Group can.
Silent Ransom Group reportedly generated over $200 million in six months without encrypting victim systems, according to leaked internal communications reviewed by DataBreaches. The group, tracked since 2022, has been the subject of extensive reporting throughout 2026, including material the group provided directly to the outlet.
Why it matters: Organizations face a shifting ransom threat landscape where attackers can extract significant value through data theft and extortion alone, bypassing traditional encryption-based ransomware models that defenders have spent years detecting and blocking.
