The Ransomware Report H2 2025: Why the drop in victims isn’t a win

Watch Now

Fewer victims in H2 2025 might look like progress – but year-over-year totals were still up 30%, plateauing at the highest baseline Searchlight’s security team has ever seen.

In this webinar, we’ll show why fewer victims in H2 than H1 isn’t the success story it sounds like. Year-over-year, the total victim count was up, and this trend shows no signs of slowing. Treating that as “a win” is how defenders and criminal investigation teams misread the threat – and make budgeting and prioritization decisions at exactly the wrong moment.
