Exploring the evolution of the cyber threat landscape: How dependencies weaken our digital resilience | ENISA
ENISA’s 2025 Threat Landscape shows that ransomware, ideology-driven DDoS campaigns, and vulnerability exploitation continue to dominate cyber activity affecting the European Union. The report also highlights growing use of AI by threat actors, with public administration remaining the most targeted sector and incidents increasingly blurring the lines between cybercrime, hacktivism, and state-linked operations. #ENISA #NIS2 #DDoS #Ransomware #ClickFix
