Is 2025 The Worst Year in Cybercrime History?

 


Flashpoint’s Alarming Midyear Threat Report thinks so. Cybercrime in 2025 isn’t just bad—it could be the worst year ever. According to Flashpoint’s 2025 Midyear Global Threat Intelligence Index, the numbers are staggering: • Credential theft via info-stealing malware like Lumma, RedLine, and Raccoon is up 800%. • Ransomware attacks jumped 179%, with demands averaging $676,000. • Data breaches surged 235%, impacting over 166 million people. • Vulnerability disclosures rose 246%, with 7,000+ exploitable flaws ready for attackers. Cybercrime is now blending with geopolitical conflict, creating a volatile and unpredictable threat landscape. This convergence demands proactive intelligence and holistic defense strategies—and platforms like Plixer One can help security teams stay ahead. Stay informed, stay protected—this could be just the visible tip of the iceberg. https://flashpoint.io/blog/flashpoint-2025-global-threat-intelligence-index-midyear/?CRO3=%233007_variant #CyberSecurity #Cybercrime #Ransomware #DataBreach #Infostealers #Flashpoint #Plixer #ThreatIntelligence
