Industry Attacks Surge, Mobile Malware Spreads: The ThreatLabz 2025 Mobile, IoT & OT Report
Zscaler ThreatLabz released its 2025 Mobile, IoT, and OT Threat Report, analyzing billions of blocked attacks across interconnected device ecosystems. Android malware transactions surged 67% year-over-year, with attacks on critical sectors rising sharply: Energy up 387%, Transportation up 382%, and Healthcare up 224%. The report highlights how threat actors exploit mobile devices, IoT botnets (primarily Mirai, Mozi, and Gafgyt), and routers as entry points, while modern banking trojans like Anatsa and Ermac employ overlay attacks, SMS interception, and accessibility service abuse to compromise financial transactions.
Why it matters: Security teams defending critical infrastructure, mobile-first enterprises, and IoT deployments need visibility into Android banking malware techniques and the surge in coordinated attacks against energy, healthcare, and transportation sectors to prioritize segmentation, zero trust policies, and threat detection for cellular-connected devices.
