Cyber threats in 2025 have adapted to current trends, with an increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and attacks that are harder to detect. The use of artificial intelligence lowers the technical barrier to entry for hackers while simultaneously increasing the speed and scale of attacks, resulting in significantly higher success rates.

• AI-Powered Phishing. AI enables the mass creation of personalized messages that mimic the communication style of your contacts, substantially increasing the success of the attack.
• Cyberattacks using AI tools. Hackers are increasingly utilizing AI for the automated collection of information, vulnerability scanning, and the creation of malicious code.
• Supply Chain Attacks. Attackers infect software during the development stage through third-party components.
• Attacks on IoT Devices. Due to weak security, these devices become easy entry points into personal and corporate networks.
• Ransomware-as-a-Service. This extortion model makes ransomware programs more accessible.
• Social Engineering and OSINT. Attackers frequently use social media and open sources to obtain detailed information, allowing them to create psychological profiles of victims and ensure maximally convincing manipulation.
