Pay up or not? #Ransomware surge has victims facing tough choices.

Nearly half of companies that are targets of a ransomware #cyber #attack end up paying a #ransom to release their data or systems, according to 2025 research from #cybersecurity group #Sophos , while the median amount demanded is rising.

Who Runs the #Ransomware Group ‘The Gentlemen?’

A #cybercrime group known as #TheGentlemen has emerged as the second most active ransomware gang by victim count, rapidly attracting a talented pool of #hackers through an aggressive recruitment strategy that promises affiliates 90 percent of any #ransom paid by victims. This post examines clues pointing to a real life identity for the administrator of The Gentlemen ransomware group.

Totally idiotic. They acted against standing instructions to not pay. And what does "we got the data back " even mean? The hacker group has no reason to delete the data even after getting the money

Ransomware: математический аппарат на службе зла

Привет, Хабр! Я Илья Борисов, старший специалист отдела экспертизы MaxPatrol EDR антивирусной лаборатории Positive Technologies. В 2025 году команда аналитиков антивирусной лаборатории PT ESC провела исследование актуальных семейств ransomware (aka шифровальщиков), чтобы повысить эффективность их обнаружения нашим продуктом. Этот вид ВПО оказался одной из наиболее значимых и заметных разновидностей вредоносов, используемых в атаках в 2025 году. Мы проанализировали образцы, замеченные в период с конца 2024 года по конец 2025-го. Были разобраны как давно известные семейства шифровальщиков, такие как Black Basta, MedusaLocker и LockBit, и относительно недавно появившиеся Lynx, HellCat и BERT. В этой статье хочу поделиться результатами этого исследования. Для начала расскажу про типы шифровальщиков, на кого они нацелены, как работают, подсвечу технические детали, а также ретроспективно прослежу некоторые тенденции в эволюции ransomware.

Dissent responded harshly to these accusations, firmly rejecting any insinuation of collusion with criminal groups. The journalist pointed out that every time she asks for evidence to support certain claims, she is labeled “criminal-friendly” or accused of being a mouthpiece for cybercriminals, simply for refusing to uncritically accept statements lacking public verification.

NEW by me:

Another detail emerges about Instructure's agreement with ShinyHunters; Debate continues about whether to pay:

https://databreaches.net/2026/05/16/another-detail-emerges-about-instructures-agreement-with-shinyhunters-debate-continues-about-whether-to-pay/

Cybersecurity experts make claims about ShinyHunters to journalists, but where is the evidence to support their claims? Journalists shouldn't just quote experts -- ask them the basis for their claims. How much evidence do they actually have to support their assertions?
