Ransomware Evolution: Data Breaches and Extortion Take Center Stage in 2025

In 2025, the attack mode of ransomware has changed significantly. Data breaches and extortion have become the main forms of attack, exceeding the traditional encryption attack. This method is easier to implement and can obtain higher illegal benefits. Many enterprises have become victims. Attackers bypass enterprise security protection through various means, steal key data, and then carry out extortion. At the same time, with the increase of enterprises’ attention to data security, ransomware attackers are also constantly improving their technologies, looking for new vulnerabilities and weak links. For example, attacks on enterprise remote – working scenarios and cloud services have increased, bringing greater challenges to enterprise network security protection.
