Ransomware Sees Steady Y-O-Y Rise. Espionage Persists. Subscriber Data Remains the Ultimate Commodity. 

Telecommunications networks sit at the heart of national infrastructure — and in 2025, when the geopolitical tensions rose, the sector became one of the espionage hotspots.

• 444 total incidents observed across breaches, leaks, ransomware, access sales, and hacktivism  

• Ransomware attacks hit 90 telecom organizations globally, driven by 34 distinct ransomware groups

• Qilin, Akira, and Play accounted for nearly 40% of ransomware attacks 

• Nation-state espionage persisted at scale — including the Salt Typhoon campaign

• Underground markets expanded with SIM swapping-as-a-service, customer database sales, and network admin access offers. 

• Critical vulnerabilities — especially in Ivanti, Fortinet, Cisco, Apple, and Microsoft systems — were heavily exploited
