CrowdStrike 2025 Threat Hunting Report: AI Becomes a Weapon and a Target

The CrowdStrike 2025 Threat Hunting Report highlights the evolving threat landscape where adversaries increasingly leverage artificial intelligence to enhance their operations, scale attacks, and exploit vulnerabilities within AI technologies. The report reveals a significant rise in cloud intrusions and cross-domain attacks, with notable examples such as SCATTERED SPIDER's proficiency in bypassing security defenses and employing vishing to move laterally across environments. The report also underscores the prevalence of eCrime activities, which accounted for 73% of interactive intrusions, and the adaptation of adversaries in executing malware-free attacks to evade legacy detection methods. Additionally, it emphasizes the growing threat from nation-state actors, particularly China-nexus groups, targeting telecom networks and utilizing cloud misconfigurations. CrowdStrike's report provides critical insights into these challenges, aiding organizations in understanding and countering the sophisticated tactics of modern cyber adversaries.
