In the first six months of 2025, cybercriminals have already stolen billions of credentials, exploited thousands of vulnerabilities, and launched record-breaking ransomware attacks–leaving security teams and organizations worldwide scrambling to keep up.
A Flashpoint midyear tally shows credential theft has jumped ninefold, vulnerability disclosures have risen 3.5 times, and ransomware incidents have nearly tripled.
“In today’s threat environment, where kinetic conflict, digital sabotage, economic warfare, and terrorism can be intertwined, understanding the full spectrum of risk is critical,” said Andrew Borene, Flashpoint Executive Director, International Markets and Global Security. “By recognizing these converging threats and clearly communicating their implications to Boards and C-Suite leaders, security professionals can help their organizations address today’s crises while building the strategic resilience for what comes next.”
