Of course cyber-criminals might celebrate the new year if their scams and attacks bear them financial rewards, then they really would have something to celebrate.

These London boroughs in England enacted emergency plans after they were hit by a cyber-attack on 26th November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, across the Pond, the State of Nevada declined to pay a ransom on 6th November 2025, as a result of a data breach that was traced by to May. It disrupted services across more than 60 States agencies, exposing thousands of files, and it allegedly caused $1.3m in recovery costs. Furthermore, despite refusing to pay a ransom, no threat actor was identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>33.7 million customer accounts breached<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the month, Coupang &#8211; South Korea\u2019s largest e-commerce firm &#8211; announced a data breach involving 33.7 million customer accounts. This led to names, emails, phone numbers and some order histories being accessed by an unauthorised part over several months, since June 2025. While no payment details were leaked, affected users were warned that they could fall prey to a phishing attack. The suspect: An insider. Even so, with phishing being a potential issue, the threat to the organisation, its suppliers, its reputation and customers is much wider than an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such issues just aren\u2019t the present that anyone wants just before or even during Christmas, or before the New Year. After all, the festive season isn\u2019t immune to cyber-attacks. Infosecurity magazine warns that \u2018UK Shoppers Lost \u00a311.5m Last Christmas, NCSC Warns.\u2019 Phil Muncaster, UK and EMEA news reporter at the magazine adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScammers have a variety of tools and tactics at their disposal, from advertising non-existent items at knockdown prices, to setting up lookalike web stores promoted by fake ads and phishing messages, which are designed to harvest personal and financial information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Devastating impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any cyber-attack or scam on an individual or an organisation can be devastating. The first thing to avoid thinking is that you\u2019re too clever or intelligent to become a victim. The truth is anyone can, and so it\u2019s vital to put in place systems and processes to reduce the likelihood of any attack or fraud from succeeding. This includes training, and a means for members of staff to speak up, or to alert others if they see anyone acting suspiciously \u2013 including members of internal staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What also needs to be borne in mind is that cyber-threats are going to become increasingly sophisticated. Google Cloud therefore advises organisations to plan ahead: \u201c2026 will usher in a new era for cybersecurity. Threat actors will leverage AI to escalate the speed, scope and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>effectiveness of their attacks. Simultaneously, defenders will harness AI agents to supercharge security operations and enhance analyst capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis transformation introduces new challenges, including &#8220;Shadow Agent&#8221; risks and the need for evolving identity and access management, all while geopolitical and financial threats continue to accelerate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI Arms Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well into the New Year, it predict that there will be an AI Arms Race, leading to faster attacks that will be counted with an Agentic Security Operations Centre (SOC). Google AI describes it as being: \u201cAn advanced, AI-driven cyber-security model where autonomous AI agents work together to detect, investigate, and respond to threats with minimal human intervention, moving beyond simple automation to independent reasoning, planning and dynamic adaptation for faster, more efficient security.\u201d The aim is to predict the next defensive move to avert any potential danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extortion is an old devil. In modern times, it comes in the form of ransomware and data theft, which remain the top threat, and will probably be so in 2026. Various tactics are used to bypass multi-factor authentication. Then there is the Virtualisation Frontline, which is about how attackers are targeting virtualisation infrastructures because this critical layer, says Google Cloud, is a \u201cgrowing blind spot.\u201d With conflicts around the world continuing \u2013 including in Ukraine, the activities of some nation states, such as Russia, are often cited as a major cause for concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quantum risk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyberlab warns in its \u2018Top 5 Cyber Security Predictions for 2026\u2019 that deepfakes, identity fraud and the human factor will play a significant role in cyber-attacks during the new year. There will also need to be some thought for quantum risk \u2013 the risk posed by the increasing use of quantum computers to break current encryption protocols, such as RSA and ECC, which are used to secure data communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This threat makes sensitive data particularly vulnerable, and so organisations would be advised to create air gaps for their most vulnerable data. The problem is that bad actors might harvest data now to decrypt it later on, which can lead to financial transactions being compromised or diverted. There could also be national security implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the risks of this occurring could become more significant, and so there is a need for a Zero Trust Security policy \u2013 particularly when it comes to supply chain security, which Cyberlab thinks will become even more of a business requirement than it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Costing UK businesses \u00a314.7bn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam Myers, writing for its blog, adds: \u201cIn November 2025, the UK Government released a comprehensive report on the economic cost of cyber-crime, which highlights how the average cyber-incident costs a UK business \u00a3195,000. Scaling this to an annual UK cost, generates an estimate of \u00a314.7 billion, equivalent to 0.5% of the UK\u2019s GDP. The growing threat landscape and significant cost of cyber-crime makes cyber-security a pressing issue for all UK businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, to prevent any disruption or financial upheaval, it\u2019s vital to be able to allow the fireworks to go ahead on 1st January 2026 without having to worry too much about cyber-attacks and data breaches. That\u2019s because any mitigations should already be in place to ensure that they can\u2019t be successful or, where possible, actually happen at all. If they do occur and they are successful, then service continuity rather than the disaster recovery should already be in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be prepared today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is achieved through by deploying a multitude of strategies \u2013 from the implementation of regular training programmes to prevent staff from clicking on phishing emails, to backing up and &#8211; whenever needed &#8211; restoring data with WAN Acceleration. The latter uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to mitigate the effects of latency and packet loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further accelerate the flow of encrypted data, it also deploys data parallelisation to permit faster backups and restores, while also having the ability obfuscate cyber-criminals. In essence, it\u2019s the happy new WAN you want in 2026 \u2013 allowing organisations to achieve regulatory compliance, avoid fines caused by data breaches and stay operational. That will help them to save time, money and effort. With that in mind, have a happy and prosperous New Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>By David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks<\/p>\n<p>Only a few days away now from New Year\u2019s Day again, fireworks and all.
