F-Secure Launches Annual Cyber Threats Guide 2025

Worldwide consumer cyber security and scam protection leader debuts essential resource for Service Providers at Global Anti Scam Summit

LONDON, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- F-Secure just unveiled its third annual F-Secure Cyber Threats Guide, breaking down the top consumer cyber risks in 2025 and providing essential insights on the state of the consumer scam landscape. Designed exclusively for Service Providers, it uncovers crucial insights into the consumer threat landscape, including emerging scams, personal data theft, and other evolving online threats — helping them navigate the intersection of cyber threats and business obligations while also ensuring they're prepared to protect customers. Backed by F-Secure's top threat intelligence experts, this guide delivers sharp insights and strategic recommendations to help businesses stay ahead of ever-evolving threats.

The release of the F-Secure Cyber Threats Guide comes as F-Secure joins the Global Anti Scam Alliance (GASA) at their Global Anti Scam Summit (GASS) in London this week as a Thought Leader Sponsor. F-Secure's top cyber security experts will be leading talks and workshops with hundreds of other industry leaders, governments, financial authorities, law enforcement, and protection agencies in attendance, diving into the F-Secure Cyber Threats Guide and other issues facing consumers and service providers today.

Critical insights from the comprehensive Cyber Threats Guide:

• AI advancements, evolving scam tactics, and shifting geopolitics are all driving consumer cyber threats in 2025.
• 73% of consumers don't know who to trust online, while 50% believe they are likely to fall victim to cyber crime in the future.
• 56% of consumers encountered scam attempts at least monthly in 2024, while 48% of consumers have fallen victim to cyber crime in the last 12 months.
• 69% of consumers believe they know how to recognize an online scam, yet 43% of these individuals also reported falling victim to a scam in the last year.
• Data privacy is under threat, as cyber criminals sell our personal data on illegal online marketplaces for as little as $0.50.
• The proprietary F-Secure Scam Kill Chain offers a deep understanding of scam tactics and techniques and serves as a foundation for building effective defenses against evolving threats.

The F-Secure Cyber Threats Guide illustrates how scammers are growing smarter, faster, and more relentless. Cyber criminals are harnessing AI, exploiting global events, and finding new ways to outmaneuver defenses. To stay ahead, service providers must go beyond defense — embracing cutting-edge tech, educating consumers, and joining forces across industries. The future of consumer cyber security isn't just about protection; it's about innovation, collaboration, and staying one step ahead in the digital battlefield.
