The ransomware payment decreased by more than one -third in 2024, refusing to negotiate with hackers as the number of victims increased.
In a report released on Wednesday, Crypto Forensics Firm Chainalysis said Ransomware Gang Leak Site posted more victims in 2024, but the victims have granted fewer victims to hackers’ needs. Chainalysis reported that ransomware hackers received a total of $ 880 million and 35% of ransom payments compared to the highest record in 2023.
According to evidence that the victim refused to meet the needs of the attacker, the chain analysis said that in the second half of 2024, the amount of cyber gang required was 53% higher than the actual payment.
According to a chain analysis, the amazing decline, which was first observed since 2022, was also led by the increase of law enforcement measures, including the interruption of many Lockbit ransomware gangs and improving international cooperation.
