M-Trends 2025: Key Cybersecurity Trends and Threats Revealed

The M-Trends 2025 report is here! It gives us a peek into the past year’s biggest problems online, like hackers, data theft, and unsafe passwords. Made by Mandiant and Google Cloud, the report explains how cybercrime is changing. If you're still using "123456" or "password1" as your password, it's time to wake up and stay safe online!

Why Hackers Attack: What the Report Found

In the Mandiant report 2025, experts say most hackers still want one thing — money. About 55% of all attacks in 2024 were for financial gain. Only 8% were about spying, which means countries trying to get secret information. More and more, hackers are picking money over secrets.

How Hackers Get In: Common Ways Attacks Start

Hackers need a way to sneak in. Here’s what the M-Trends 2025 report found:

• Broken software or security holes caused 33% of all attacks, making this the top reason again this year.

• Stolen passwords were used in 16% of attacks — a big jump!

• Other ways include fake emails (phishing), old break-ins, or weak websites.

These trends show why it’s important to keep your software updated and your passwords strong.

Which Businesses Are Being Attacked the Most?

The financial industry, like banks, is still the most attacked. But many other areas are being targeted too — like hospitals, power companies, and factories. These industries have important info and services, so hackers want to break in.

New Kinds of Cyber Threats in 2025

The Mandiant M-Trends 2025 shows some new dangers that people and companies need to be ready for:

• Infostealer Malware: This harmful software hides in computers and steals things like passwords and browser history.

• DPRK IT Workers: These are IT freelancers from North Korea pretending to be regular workers, but they're actually working for the government to raise money.

• Iran’s Cyber Team: They are mainly targeting systems in Israel using sneaky new tools.

• Cloud and App Attacks: Hackers are now attacking cloud systems and shared apps that many businesses use.

• Crypto and Web3 Hacks: Bitcoin and other digital money systems are now popular targets for scams and theft.

Cyber threats are changing fast, so we need to keep learning how to fight back.

Safety Tips for 2025: How to Stay Protected Online
