This isn't the first time this year a gang has overhauled LockBit and climbed to the top spot on our monthly charts.
Known ransomware attacks by gang, May 2023 Let's jump right in with MalasLocker, who burst onto the scene last month with 171 total victims-beating out LockBit (76) by almost 100 known attacks. Last month also witnessed a record number of 556 reported ransomware victims, the unusual emergence of Italy and Russia as major targets, and a significant rise in attacks on the education sector. In May, Lockbit, usually the reigning king of ransomware, found a fierce competitor in MalasLocker. This provides the best overall picture of ransomware activity, but the true number of attacks is far higher. In this report, "known attacks" are those where the victim didn't pay a ransom. This article is based on research by Marcelo Rivero, Malwarebytes' ransomware specialist, who monitors information published by ransomware gangs on their Dark Web sites.
