Cybersecurity Threats to Watch: August 2025

By: Jake Schulte

Cybercriminals are evolving fast—and so should your defenses. At Networks Plus, we’re keeping a close eye on emerging threats so you can stay protected. Here are the top risks we’re tracking this month:

AI-Powered Impersonation Attacks

Attackers are using AI to mimic voices and craft convincing emails that impersonate executives or IT staff. These scams bypass filters and exploit trust.

✅ What You Can Do:
• Verify unusual requests through a second channel
• Implement anti-spam and anti-phishing services

Salesforce Under Siege

A phishing campaign is targeting Salesforce users with fake support calls and malicious OAuth apps. Once access is granted, attackers can steal sensitive customer data.

✅ What You Can Do:
• Review app permissions
• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cloud services

Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) on the Rise

RaaS platforms are fueling a surge in ransomware attacks—even by low-skill hackers. Variants like Warlock and SafePay are targeting cloud backups and SharePoint.

✅ What You Can Do:
• Ensure backups are immutable and tested regularly

Cloud Misconfigurations = Open Doors

Misconfigured Microsoft 365 and Azure environments are being exploited for lateral movement and privilege escalation.

✅ What You Can Do:
• Conduct a cloud security audit
• Apply least-privilege access policies
