Hacker kompromittieren immer schneller

Hackers are compromising networks much faster in 2025, taking an average of only 29 minutes to gain full access compared to 83 minutes in 2024, with the fastest recorded time being just 27 seconds. The main reason for this acceleration is the increased use of AI tools by attackers, particularly state-sponsored and criminal groups who have boosted their activity by 89 percent, with examples including LLM-based malware (AI models trained on large amounts of text data) for automating information gathering and AI-generated scripts for extracting credentials and covering their tracks.
