26 June 2025
Ransomware attacks targeting the retail sector increased by 40% in May compared to April, according to recent findings from NCC Group. While global ransomware activity saw a slight decrease of 6% in May — with 393 attacks recorded worldwide — security experts caution that this decline does not equate to diminished risk, especially given evolving cybercriminal strategies and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The report highlights that the industrial sector continued to be the primary target, accounting for 30% of all ransomware cases in May, or 118 incidents. However, the consumer discretionary sector, including retail, experienced a significant uptick, with attacks rising from 73 in April to 102 in May. Experts attribute this surge to the sector’s attractiveness as a high-value target, given the potential for disrupting payment systems, accessing consumer data, and extracting substantial ransom payments.
