India has emerged as one of the most targeted countries in the Asia-Pacific region for ransomware attacks. It recorded a surge in data breaches, according to Cyble Inc.’s APAC Threat Landscape Report 2025.
The 2025 report documented 456 ransomware attacks, 1,586 data breaches, and 335 initial access listings across APAC. India consistently ranked amongst the most targeted nations, alongside South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.
“India’s digital growth and economic momentum have made it a high-value target for both cybercriminals and nation-state groups,” Daksh Nakra, Senior Manager of Research and Intelligence at Cyble, said.
“The convergence of ransomware operations, data brokers, and hacktivist activity calls for stronger cyber defences and policy intervention,” he said
