Kaspersky reveals that even viruses resistant to quantum computing will be a trend in 2025

As cyber attacks progress increasingly rapidly, Kaspersky’s new report states: New ransomware will be proof of quantum computers. The 2025 Threat Panorama research for Latin America shows that hacker groups specializing in information theft continue to grow stronger.

Groups using ransomware will start investing, according to the company’s proposed report durable encryption technologies quantum computers. Quantum machines can decrypt blocked data more quickly and efficiently, hence the emergence of attacks that resist these machines. will make data recovery more complicated.

Speaking of which, these groups are expected to plant faulty data on the servers they attack. The default attack mode is to encrypt and “hijack” this information, but once the data is manipulated, recovery is thrown into doubt because companies cannot be 100% sure whether the information is valid or not.

Smaller groups will come to the fore in invasions

Kaspersky experts, who are currently active in the field of ransomware, believe that such attacks as a service will become a trend. There may be smaller groups buy attacks at affordable pricesabout US$40 (Approximately R$ 230) to start your invasions, and in this scenario, Lumma, Vidar, Redline etc. New characters emerged, emphasizing criminals such as.

When it comes to “simpler” attacks, cybercriminals are expected to target central banks. Payment systems managed by these institutions, such as PIX. New blockchain-based malware and attacks against exploits are also on the radar.

On the other hand, the company’s research shows that: artificial intelligence and machine learning will become more important Therefore, these technologies are expected to help detect anomalies through predictive resources, automate responses, and reduce attack analysis time.

For one Kaspersky expert, 2025 will be the year of resilience against cyber threats, where factors such as proactivity, predictive systems and continuous monitoring to combat attacks come to the fore.

“Since misinformed teams are among the most common initial attack vectors that can cause serious financial losses to an organization, it is also important to organize regular digital training programs for employees and warn them of possible cyber attacks,” says the head of the Latin America unit.
