Cybercrime Trends 2025

Cybercriminals are more ambitious than ever — and they know exactly how to exploit every corner of our digital lives. This year’s trends reveal a shift where attackers are relentlessly exploiting not only corporate networks but also personal identities, accounts, and even family members to gain access to organizations. At the same time, they are becoming more strategic and efficient, leveraging AI to enhance attack sophistication, supply chain vulnerabilities to scale their reach, and multichannel deception to bypass traditional defenses.

By blending tactics across email, SMS, social media, and collaboration platforms, they are manipulating trust and exploiting every possible entry point. As a result, cyber risk is escalating — with 72% of organizations reporting an increase in threats, according to the World Economic Forum. As the attack surface has never been larger, organizations must prepare for a future where threats are more personalized, scalable, and harder to detect.

Understanding the trends is the first step to staying ahead.
