The French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) has confirmed the decline of known ransomware attacks in 2025, in part due to successful law enforcement operations.<\/p>\n

The latest edition of the agency\u2019s annual threat report, published on March 11, dives into the range of cyber threats that French public and private organizations have faced in 2025.<\/p>\n

According to ANSSI data, there were 128 ransomware attacks reported in France in 2025, slightly fewer than the 141 such attacks recorded in 2024.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the agency highlighted that ransomware compromises remained a significant threat and represent a substantial share of the over cybercriminal activity.<\/p>\n

The report also noted that, while ANSSI\u2019s partnering security vendors frequently warn about an uptick in encryption-less cyber extortion attacks such incidents have been limited, according to the agency\u2019s data.<\/p>\n

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) remained the organizations most targeted by ransomware, but public and private healthcare entities and education organizations have experienced the biggest year-over-year increase.<\/p>\n

The most prevalent ransomware strains observed by ANSSI in 2025 were Qilin (21%), Akira (9%), and LockBit 3.0\/LockBit Black (5%).<\/p>\n

Additionally, more than a dozen strains (notably Nova, Warlock and Sinobi) were observed for the first time in 2025 in at least one incident.<\/p>\n

ANSSI assessed that the drop in ransomware attacks is at least partly due to the successful preventive intervention of cyber defenders, including those from the French agency, and large-scale law enforcement operations.<\/p>\n

One of the most impactful efforts was Operation Endgame, which ANSSI said disrupted a large part of the ransomware landscape and undermined trust within the cybercriminal ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Cyber Incidents Treated by ANSSI Remain Stable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, ANSSI received 3586 cyber alerts that involved the support of the agency in 2025, an 18% drop compared to 2024. However, this decline can be partly explained by a spike of…<\/p>\n
