Stolen Credentials Drive the Rise of Financially Motivated Cyberattacks
Throughout the first half of 2025, the FortiGuard Incident Response team investigated dozens of security breaches across multiple industries driven by financially motivated threat actors. What emerged from these investigations was a striking pattern: attackers are abandoning complex, malware-heavy approaches in favor of a deceptively simple method”, simply logging in using stolen credentials and leveraging…

Strengthening security with a converged security and networking platform
created new security risks. Products are designed with different fundamental security assumptions. Each has a separate security policy and requires a specially trained administrator, making it difficult to coordinate security policies and use products together. The result is a fragmented security infrastructure with inconsistent rules and poor visibility. Conflicting policies and uneven enforcement create the…
