Beers with Talos breaks down the 2025 Talos Year in Review
Summary: The Beers with Talos B team - Hazel, Bill, Joe and Dave - discussed the 2025 Talos Year in Review, covering the year's biggest cybersecurity trends and cyber activity tied to the situation in the Middle East. The review reports that in 2025 attackers increasingly targeted weaknesses in multi-factor authentication workflows, and phishing attacks used valid, compromised credentials to send lures from trusted accounts.
Why it matters: The year's dominant attack pattern was compromised but valid credentials launching phishing from trusted accounts, which means the login your users trust may be the delivery mechanism - and MFA workflow weaknesses were a named target.
