Though enough evidence is not available on the average ransom amount the gang demands from its victims, some publicly shared information indicates that it demands around$15,000 for the decryptor. A recent report by the cybersecurity firm Coveware, states that the average ransom payments received by Checkmate in the last quarter of 2022 were over$400,000.
