Cybercriminals are increasingly adopting stealthy and advanced techniques, notably Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) side-loading and browser memory scraping, to install malware that stealthily harvests users’ passwords, credit card data, cookies, session tokens and more. These attacks blend social engineering, search manipulation and memory-level exploitation to bypass traditional defenses and compromise victims at scale.

If your organization hasn’t encountered a vishing attack yet, it’s probably only a matter of time. Vishing, or voice phishing, is a sophisticated type of social engineering that adds a whole new dimension to common scams. Rather than emails or text messages, threat actors employ phone calls or online voice calls to carry out vishing schemes. Particularly savvy attackers can even copy a real person’s voice to deceive, coerce, or manipulate potential victims.

It is not always malware or a sophisticated tool that results in cyber threats. Sometimes, this happens through a convincing email or a request that appears trustworthy. There have been occasions where attackers created a moment of urgency to lead someone into clicking, sharing, or approving without realizing the consequences. This is social engineering. Social engineering threats are becoming more dangerous.

More troubling than the sheer volume of vulnerabilities in 2025 is that more than a third of them were given a rating of “high” or “critical” severity. For security teams already stretched too thin, a proactive vulnerability management plan that patches or otherwise remediates all vulnerabilities is too far out of reach.
