⚡️📊 Ransomware extortion drops 35% in 2024 due to crackdown on crypto exchanges and growing refusal to pay ransoms according to Chainalysis' 2025 report.

Ransomware payments were $813 million in 2024, down from $1.25 billion in 2023.

"This potentially indicates a fear of being traced, identified and prosecuted by law enforcement agencies, made possible with the help of crypto investigation tools."

More victims refuse to pay.
"Victims who have paid have typically ended up sending between $150,000 and $250,000 in ransom, regardless of initial demands."
