Your phishing detection skills are no match for 2025s biggest security threats

▤ Summary

Mimecast’s latest threat intelligence report highlights how phishing and social engineering attacks are evolving in 2025. Attackers are using Clickfix to trick users into executing malicious commands, which helps them bypass traditional anti-phishing defenses and deliver malware or ransomware. The report also shows a sharp rise in AI-assisted business email compromise campaigns that create convincing multi-person email threads, invoice fraud, and payment-change scams. Education, IT, telecom, legal, and real estate organizations face elevated risk because they handle sensitive data and financial transactions. Mimecast recommends stronger authentication, MFA, employee training, and zero-trust controls to reduce exposure.
