On December 3, 2025, immediately following the public disclosure of the critical, maximum-severity React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182), the Cloudforce One Threat Intelligence team began monitoring for early signs of exploitation. Within hours, we observed scanning and active exploitation attempts, including traffic originating from infrastructure associated with Asian-nexus threat groups.

I first met Tines co-founders Eoin Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella more than a decade ago at eBay. Even then, we shared the same frustration: too much important work was slowed down by brittle processes, manual handoffs, and disconnected tools. We all believed technology should help people focus on meaningful work, not slow them down in muckwork. That idea has shaped my career ever since. I started out in security operations, using automation to make my own job easier.

Let’s be honest: if your SOC is drowning in noise, you’re not “doing security.” You’re babysitting tools that cry wolf. And the wolves? They’re doing just fine. Every vendor claims their AI magically cuts false positives. Most don’t. Why?

In November of last year, Aaron Bray made some supply chain security predictions for 2025. Now, as we approach the close of the year, we are going to look at how those predictions turned out. But first let’s start with the high-level statistics and review some of the campaigns we have been tracking and reporting on this year. As this year is not yet over, we have excluded data from December for both 2024 and 2025.

Why outsourcing auth doesn't mean outsourcing risk.

JSCEAL is an information stealer that’s been targeting users of cryptocurrency applications. As reported by Check Point Research (CPR) in July 2025, JSCEAL has developed into a more advanced form. In a new campaign observed by Cato CTRL in August 2025, JSCEAL has adopted a revamped command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, enhanced anti-analysis safeguards, and an updated script engine designed for increased stealth. The campaign remains active.

This is a predictions blog. We know, we know; everyone does them, and they can get a bit same-y. Chances are, you’re already bored with reading them. So, we’ve decided to do things a little bit differently this year. Instead of bombarding you with just our own predictions, we’ve decided to cast the net far and wide. We’ve spoken to cybersecurity experts from around the world to answer what’s, for us, the most pressing question of all.
