This report summarizes Verizon’s 2025 DBIR insights and Infoblox research, highlighting a 37% rise in ransomware, the dominance of the human element in breaches, and the strong linkage between infostealer logs and ransomware incidents. It emphasizes how malicious adtech and traffic distribution systems (TDS) enable delivery of infostealers, advanced phishing, and RATs, with examples like Vane Viper (LummaStealer via fake CAPTCHA) and Vacant Viper (404TDS). Additional trends include BYOD exposure in credential theft, prompt bombing for MFA fatigue, and SEO/ad-based baiting. The report advocates Protective DNS to preemptively block adversary infrastructure and mitigate these threats.
