What 2024’s Worst Cyberattacks Say About Security in 2025

PYMNTS

Cybersecurity took center stage in 2024 as some of the most sophisticated and damaging attacks in history underscored the vulnerabilities of an increasingly digital operating landscape.

From ransomware attacks crippling critical infrastructure to data breaches compromising millions of user records, the year’s events highlighted the need for robust, proactive security measures in a hyper-connected world.

Among the most damaging breaches were the Change Healthcare ransomware attack that led to billions in losses, to the breached defenses at background check firm National Public Data that led to the stolen information of 2.9 billion individuals, as well as the Snowflake data breach that snowballed to include AT&T, Santander Bank, Advance Auto Parts, Ticketmaster parent company LiveNation and over 160 of the world’s largest companies.

But those attacks only scratched the surface of emerging enterprise vulnerabilities.

As we enter 2025, the lessons from these breaches are more relevant than ever for businesses navigating the digital frontier.
