Beneath the Surface: Why Stable Ransomware Numbers Hide a Growing Crisis
Time: 3pm BST / 10am EDT / 7am PTD
Presenters: David Schnurstein and Rebecca Harpur
Every quarter, the conversation around ransomware focuses on one question: Did attacks go up or down? The reality is that attack volume tells only part of the story.
Based on BlackFog’s analysis of 4,757 ransomware attacks in the first half of 2026, this live webinar explores the trends shaping today’s threat landscape and what they mean for security leaders.
We’ll examine why data exfiltration has become the primary weapon, why many attacks never become public, how new ransomware groups are emerging at record speed, and where attackers are shifting their focus next. We’ll also break down the biggest ransomware incidents of H1 2026 and the lessons organizations can take from them.
This is an independent research briefing based on BlackFog’s ransomware reporting, published since 2020.
You’ll leave with:
- A clear view of today’s ransomware landscape
- Data and insights to share with leadership
- Practical guidance on where prevention efforts matter most
