ExtraHop's 2026 Global Threat Landscape Report found that 49% of organizations now detect breaches only after data theft, up sharply from 31% in 2025, and 83% of ransomware victims still pay the ransom, with average payments now $2.8 million.

KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
