Birmingham: Many cyber threats, as per emerging styles, have been mentioned in the Telangana Cyber Threat Report 2025.
These threats are predicted to change areas such as AI, infrastructure, economic and personality, ransomware evolution, mobile and device and vulnerability in emerging technologies.
The statement added that the technologies will be used to create very complex phishing campaigns using algorithmic technology and tailored attack vectors, making them more difficult to spot. It also reflected on AI-driven threats.
Also, AI-driven malware will adjust in real-time to evade classic security measures, while data poisoning attacks will compromise the integrity of critical AI systems in sectors such as healthcare and intelligent transportation, said the report.
AI-enabled ransomware will continue to evolve as its attack strategies are adapted based on user behavior and system vulnerabilities, making detection and prevention more difficult for conventional security systems.
It added that, in the coming weeks, ransomware attacks will expand beyond basic encryption, incorporating double-extortion tactics that involve data theft and threats to release sensitive information. Additionally, ransomware may target critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, healthcare, and transportation, leveraging vulnerabilities in operational technology ( OT ) and Industrial IoT ( IIoT ) to cause physical disruptions and sabotage.
Similar to the Solar Winds incident, the report added that cybercriminals will use trusted vendors and open-source vulnerabilities to inject malicious code. The reliance on third-party services will increase the risk, necessitating improved supply chain security measures.
