This is largely because crypto mining is now more profitable than ransomware, according to the report.
In a press release, Kaspersky explained that it compared data from April 2016–March 2017 with data from April 2017–March 2018.
It found that ransomware that encrypts users’ computers declined by nearly 44.6 percent from 2017 to 2018.
Kaspersky said that it expects these numbers to continue growing, particularly with the advance of mobile miners.
“While ransomware has provided a potentially large but one-off income for its cybercriminals, miners will provide a lower, but longer lasting one.
