New Bitsight Analysis Reveals 43% Increase in Breach Data Shared on Underground Forums in 2024
Company also launches Bitsight Pulse, a personalized stream of cyber threat intelligence content, from ransomware to breaking news LISBON, Portugal, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitsight, the global leader in cyber risk intelligence, today released a new report from its Bitsight TRACE Security Research Team analyzing cybercrime on the deep and dark web in 2024. The annual State of the Underground report leverages Bitsight IQ – embedded generative AI designed to simplify complex cyber risk data – to curate billions of cybercriminal activities, highlighting sharp increases in ransomware attacks, groups, and data breaches. While ransomware threats are not new, they are becoming increasingly widespread due to the rapid dissemination of attack techniques, which is outpacing law enforcement's ability to dismantle attack groups. Key findings from the report include: Ransomware attacks: Increased by 25% in 2024, while the number of ransomware group leak sites rose by 53%. The fragmentation caused by smaller, more agile gangs is leading to more attacks on mid-sized organizations. Data breaches: Increased by 43% in 2024, based on incidents shared across underground forums. U.S. organizations accounted for nearly 20% of victims. Compromised credentials: Bitsight identified 2.9 billion unique sets of compromised credentials in 2024, up from 2.2 billion in 2023. Compromised credit cards: Underground markets listed 14.5 million compromised credit cards in 2024, a 20% increase over 2023. 'The 25 percent surge in active ransomware attacks signals escalating sophistication of attackers and an increasingly complex threat landscape,' said Dov Lerner, Staff Threat Researcher at Bitsight. 'Combating these evolving threats requires more than layered defenses—it demands continuous visibility into exposed assets, insights into emerging threats, and the ability to prioritize action based on real-world risk.' The full report includes more findings on the scale of cybercrime activities, advice for security teams on how to protect your organization, and more. Download the full study here .
