AI Summary

INC ransomware-as-a-service has claimed over 830 victims since its launch in August 2023 and has emerged as one of the most prolific ransomware operations in 2026, partly by absorbing affiliates displaced by the LockBit disruption and BlackCat shutdown. INC's focus on high-pressure sectors like healthcare — where operational disruption creates immediate payment incentive — is driving its rapid expansion.
