We analyze the defining cyber conflicts of 2025, dominated by state-sponsored actors like Volt Typhoon pre-positioning in critical infrastructure and groups like Salt Typhoon compromising global telecommunications networks for espionage. The season also saw ransomware evolve with extreme speed, exemplified by the Akira group's ultra-short dwell times (as low as 55 minutes) and the emergence of AI-powered malware like "PromptLock" that generates encryption scripts in real-time. Critical vulnerabilities stemmed from sophisticated supply chain breaches, where groups like ShinyHunters exploited third-party SaaS platforms via vishing and utilized zero-days like ToolShell to compromise dozens of major organizations.
