Crowdstrike Report Warns Of Rising AI Exploits And Record Cloud Attacks
CrowdStrike, Friday, August 8th, 2025
CrowdStrike's 2025 Threat Hunting Report warns that adversaries are no longer just using AI to enhance cyberattacks -- they are increasingly targeting the AI platforms organizations rely on in production.
Coupled with a record surge in cloud intrusions, the findings signal a major shift in the enterprise threat landscape.
Cloud Intrusions Reach Record Levels
The report notes a sharp escalation in attacks aimed at cloud environments. CrowdStrike threat hunters identified a 136% increase in cloud intrusions in the first half of 2025 compared to all of 2024, with a 40% year-over-year rise in cloud-conscious intrusions attributed to suspected China-nexus actors.
