Ransomware targeting in France stayed concentrated on SMBs in 2025, while healthcare and education saw the steepest year-over-year increases. That shift matters because it widens exposure in sectors with high operational sensitivity and recovery cost. The pattern suggests attackers are not only pressuring smaller organizations, but also pushing deeper into public-facing services with disruptive potential. The risk signal is changing from total attack volume to which cohorts are being hit.
