🛡️ The ESET research team has released the H1 2025 Threat Report, summarizing cyberthreat activity from December 2024 through May 2025. The report highlights a rapid rise in a new social engineering technique, ClickFix, with detections increasing more than fivefold, and a 160% surge in Android adware linked to evil twin fraud and PUAs. It also notes growing numbers of ransomware attacks and gangs even as overall payment values trended downward. Watch ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe's video overview and consult the full report for details and mitigation guidance.

🔍 The latest ESET APT Activity report and podcast episode summarize intrusion activity observed across Q4 2024–Q1 2025, highlighting persistent and evolving adversary techniques. ESET researchers spotlight China-aligned actors such as UnsolicitedBooker, which repeatedly targeted the same organization with the MarsSnake backdoor, and tool-sharing trends centered on groups like Worok. The report also covers Russia-aligned operations — Sednit’s expanded Operation RoundPress against webmail platforms, ongoing Gamaredon obfuscation in Ukraine, and Sandworm’s use of the ZEROLOT wiper — plus activity from other regional actors that complicate attribution and detection.
