Figure 17: Most Active Threat Actors 2022 vs 2023
Of the groups amongst the 10 most active last year in 2022, only Conti and LockBit 2.0, after undergoing their transition to LockBit 3.0, were not active in 2023. This is contrary to 2022 when we reported only 50% of 2021’s 10 most prolific actors staying active throughout 2022. We actually see included in the 10 most active threat groups of 2023, three groups which weren’t around at all in 2022 and so have burst onto the scene, these being; 8base, Akira, and Noescape.
Further to seeing fresh groups in the 10 most active for the year, 2023 also saw a nearly 20% rise in threat actors, climbing from 55 threat groups in 2022 to 64 in 2023.
