It's not you, it's your printer: State-sponsored and phishing threats in 2025
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
In this episode, we unpack state-sponsored and phishing trends from the 2025 Talos Year in Review. Amy and Martin Lee explore the alarming rise of internal phishing campaigns that bypass traditional perimeter defenses, including the widespread weaponization of Microsoft 365's Direct Send feature. Beyond simple phishing, we analyze the aggressive, blended operations of state-sponsored actors from China and North Korea who are combining high-level zero-day exploits with sophisticated social engineering. From the "Dear Leader" interview test to the reality of fake developer personas, we break down exactly how these adversaries are infiltrating modern organizations. 2025 Year in Review report: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2025yearinreview/
