France's National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) reported a decline in ransomware attacks in 2025, attributing the drop to successful preventive interventions and law enforcement operations. Despite the decrease, ransomware remains a significant threat, particularly targeting SMBs, healthcare, and education sectors. The most prevalent ransomware strains observed were Qilin, Akira, and LockBit 3.0/LockBit Black. ANSSI also noted a rise in data exfiltration incidents and a drop in DDoS attacks. The agency highlighted the increasing overlap between nation-state groups and cybercriminals, complicating attribution efforts. Vincent Strubel, ANSSI’s director general, warned of potential hybrid attacks on critical infrastructure by 2030.
