Global monitoring systems have identified a critical cybersecurity landscape for 2025, detecting an average of 500,000 malicious files daily. According to the Kaspersky Security Bulletin (KSB), this figure represents a 7% increase compared to the previous year, highlighting a significant surge in threats designed to steal sensitive information and conduct digital espionage. The analysis reveals that the situation is particularly acute in Latin America, where spyware detections skyrocketed by 64%, followed by a 35% increase in password thefts and a 24% rise in backdoors. Experts note the growing sophistication of cybercriminals, particularly the resurgence of commercial spyware like 'Dante,' used in Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaigns. To mitigate risks, users are advised to avoid downloading apps from unofficial sources, enable two-factor authentication, and keep their devices updated. Organizations should not expose remote desktop services to public networks, create isolated backups, and use threat intelligence to anticipate malicious actors' tactics.
