The Q2 Ransomware Marketplace report aggregates anonymized ransomware data from cases handled and resolved by Covewares Incident Response Team. Unlike surveys, which rely on sentiment, this report is solely created from a standardized set of data collected from every case. In Q2 of 2019, the average ransom payment increased by 184% to $36,295, as compared to $12,762 in Q1 of 2019. The increase reflects the growing prevalence of Ryuk and Sodinokibi, variants of ransomware that have rapidly increased their demands.”]
