Crypto界网 reports that Chainalysis's report shows a 50% surge in ransomware attack incidents in 2025, reaching nearly 8,000 cases, but the total on-chain ransom payments decreased by 8% to $820 million. Attackers are shifting focus to small and medium-sized enterprises because they pay faster; at the same time, the decline in dark web access prices and the proliferation of AI tools have lowered the attack barrier, leading to an increase in attack attempts.
