Advanced threat predictions for 2025
- Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team analyzed most sophisticated attacks that shaped the threat landscape and anticipated emerging trends previously for 2024, which they review and offer insights about six of their predictions that have mostly come true. They also offer trend predictions for 2025, which include the IoT becoming a growing attack vector, backdoored AI models, and BYOVD exploits in APT campaigns.
- 2024 trends reviewed include the continued rise in attacks by threat actors targeting mobile devices, the emergence of more groups building their botnets, kernel rootkits seeing a comeback, growth in cyberattacks by state-sponsored actors, and more hacktivism in cyberwarfare.
- The Kaspersky research team predicted for 2025 that spear-phishing via Generative AI to more easily compose and illustrate phishing emails will expand. Additionally, the IoT will garner more attention from APTs, supply chain attacks on open-source projects will increase, and C++ and Go malware will be adapted to the open-source ecosystem.
- The Kaspersky team also predicts that hacktivist alliances will escalate in 2025 and that deepfakes will be used by APT groups. Finally, they forecast that BYOVD exploits will continue to be used by attackers to escalate to kernel-level access.
