2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report: China\u2019s Cyber Espionage Surges 150% with Increasingly Aggressive Tactics, Weaponization of AI-powered Deception Rises<\/b><\/p>\n

The industry\u2019s preeminent source on adversary intelligence exposes a 442% increase in vishing as GenAI-driven social engineering attacks increase; DPRK insider threats spike<\/i><\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–CrowdStrike<\/a> (NASDAQ: CRWD) today released its 2025 Global Threat Report<\/a>, exposing the growing aggression of China\u2019s cyber operations, a surge in GenAI-powered social engineering and nation-state vulnerability research and exploitation, and a sharp increase in malware-free, identity-based attacks. The report reveals that China-nexus adversaries escalated state-sponsored cyber operations by 150%, with targeted attacks in financial services, media, manufacturing and industrial sectors soaring up to 300%.<\/p>\n

\nAt the same time, adversaries worldwide are weaponizing AI-generated deception, exploiting stolen credentials and increasingly executing cross-domain attacks\u2014exploiting gaps across endpoint, cloud and identity\u2014to bypass security controls and operate undetected in the shadows. The shift to malware-free intrusions that exploit trusted access, combined with record-shattering breakout times, leaves defenders little room for error. To stop modern attacks, security teams need to eliminate visibility gaps, detect adversary movement in real-time and stop attacks before they escalate\u2014because once they\u2019re inside, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n
