Fool Me Once:
How Cybercriminals are Perfecting Deception in 2025

Armed with AI and increasingly sophisticated tactics, today’s cybercriminals are masters of deception.

Join us for an inside look at the second edition of the LevelBlue Threat Trends Report, where experts unpack real-world data on the top malware families and threat actor techniques from the first half of 2025. You’ll learn how attackers are using social engineering, stealthy malware, and rapid lateral movement to breach defenses before anyone notices.

Key insights include:

• Increasing frequency of attacks, nearly tripling from the second half of 2024
• A sharp rise in social engineering attacks like ClickFix, making up nearly 40% of all incidents related to initial access
• Shorter breakout times, averaging under 60 minutes and in some cases less than 15 minutes
• A spike in Infostealer activity, with remote access trojans (RATs) like NetSupport RAT gaining traction among threat groups.
