The NCC Group's February Threat Pulse report revealed a 50% surge in ransomware attacks from January, with Clop/Cl0p responsible for nearly 40% of these incidents. There were 886 attacks in February, up from 590 in January and 403 a year ago. The spike is attributed to Clop's aggressive exploitation of vulnerabilities in Cleo file transfer software, shifting the focus from traditional encryption to large-scale data theft. Despite Clop's leading position, reports indicate the group may exaggerate its claims to attract attention.
Ransomware victim numbers hit record highs in February, surging 50% compared with January 2025, with Cl0p leading the charge.
Cl0p's activity wasn't about encrypting systems - it was about stealing data at scale, using exploited vulnerabilities in widely used file transfer software.
