Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team constantly monitors known and emerging cyberthreats directed at the financial industry, with banks and fintech companies being the most targeted. Kaspersky researchers also closely follow threats that aim to infiltrate a wider range of industries, namely ransomware families that are financially motivated.
These observations, as part of our Kaspersky Security Bulletin, help them devise predictions about how the financial cyberthreat landscape will change over the year. This report outlines notable attack trends the researchers expect to face, to help businesses and individuals protect from them. Let’s first look into Kaspersky predictions for 2024 to see how they turned out, explore the key events in the financial cyberthreat landscape during the year, and then try to predict the trends for 2025.
