Phishing, Ransomware, and Geopolitical Spies: Inside the EU's 2025 Cyber Frontline

Oct 2, 2025

This episode dissects the latest ENISA Threat Landscape, revealing how cybercriminal operations remain potent, fueled by resilient Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models and highly effective vectors like phishing (60%) and vulnerability exploitation (21.3%). We explore how geopolitical conflicts drive state-aligned cyberespionage, particularly from Russia, China, and DPRK-nexus intrusion sets, alongside high-volume, low-impact hacktivism, primarily targeting Public Administration (38%) and critical infrastructure like Transport. Finally, we examine the escalating risks posed by the convergence of threat groups and the trend of AI accelerating offensive innovation, demanding a systemic defensive shift.   www.breached.company/state-aligned-cyber-threats-targeting-the-european-union-an-enisa-threat-landscape-analysis (http://www.breached.company/state-aligned-cyber-threats-targeting-the-european-union-an-enisa-threat-landscape-analysis) https://breached.company/enisa-threat-landscape-briefing-2024-2025-analysis
