New reporting from Security Boulevard says ransomware-related data theft jumped 275% in 2026, with schools, hospitals and government agencies filing some of the largest claims. Attackers increasingly exfiltrate sensitive records before encrypting systems, exposing formerly private data. Security commentators are using the figures to warn institutions that a breach now means public disclosure of everything stored, not just downtime.
