However, adversaries doubled down on older, unpatched weaknesses, including CVEs more than a decade old, indicating that historic exposures remain potent attack vectors.<\/p>\n<p>The mass exploitation of critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint (CVE-2025-53770) and Cisco ASA\/FTD products underscores the narrowing window between patch disclosure and in-the-wild attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment a vulnerability is disclosed, it becomes a bullet in the attacker\u2019s arsenal,\u201d said Christiaan Beek, senior director of threat intelligence and analytics at Rapid7. \u201cAttackers are no longer waiting. Instead, they\u2019re weaponizing vulnerabilities in real time and turning every disclosure into an opportunity for exploitation. Organizations must now assume that exploitation begins the moment a vulnerability is made public and act accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Ransomware activity spikes with new alliances and innovative tactics <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The quarter also saw 88 active ransomware groups, up from 65 in Q2 and 76 in Q1, signaling an increase in activity as well as underscoring these groups\u2019 fluidity. Groups like Qilin, SafePay, and WorldLeaks led a wave of alliances targeting industries like business services, manufacturing, and healthcare, and experimenting with fileless operations, single-extortion data leaks, and affiliate service offerings such as ransom negotiation assistance, where a more senior member of the group partners with a less experienced player to extort the victim.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Generative AI lowers barriers as nation-state campaigns redefine cyber warfare <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The report details how generative AI is lowering the barrier for creating convincing phishing campaigns and enabling adaptive malware, such as LAMEHUG, which can dynamically generate new commands.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, nation-state operators from Russia, China, and Iran refine their tactics, blurring the line between espionage and disruption by targeting supply chains and identity systems with an emphasis on stealth and persistence.<\/p>\n<p>To read a full copy of the report, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=hbZZARJep7Wv8RbUUgmELAtjP9EuHZG1FDQrdxSI5PiUTOUGaStdLNeQw5Uz5U2noXoiAndWRG7IWVQCaaqqfqULhQIeXwWgNQm-Vv_D1POl644DeFDmtuoxVz3AMdZufvmP5cNGXWpqVruwWIu2uCIR46MLunPJeVthyJjFVbx4Qt4tJR_7f2bBopCoFHX9p8LSrlvzid-oDvBBHVYMYSBRWSqs7noKrdxGGx60ZV0=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/www.rapid7.com\/research\/report\/threat-landscape-report-2025-q3\/<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About the Rapid7 Threat Landscape Report<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The <em>Rapid7 Threat Landscape Report<\/em> is a quarterly analysis of global adversary behavior drawn from the company\u2019s managed detection and response operations, vulnerability intelligence platforms, and threat research telemetry.
