Stolen Identities Now The Biggest Threat In Cybersecurity

Identity-driven cyber threats have surged by 156% between 2023 and 2025, now accounting for 59% of all confirmed incidents. Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) operations make it easier for cybercriminals to obtain valid user credentials, which are then sold in underground marketplaces. Organizations are advised to adopt Zero Trust architectures, implement phishing-resistant authentication, and enhance detection capabilities to mitigate these threats.
