What you’ll learn:
- Why AI phishing surged from 4% to 56% of reported threats in December 2025
- Which phishing tactics are rising fastest, including links, attachments, open redirects, and callback lures

Why This Matters
Most phishing reports focus either on threat trends or training outcomes. What makes this analysis different is the ability to connect the two.
Hoxhunt’s platform unifies real phishing threats and simulated phishing exercises, allowing researchers to observe emerging attack techniques and immediately measure how users respond in practice. This creates a continuous feedback loop between threat intelligence, human behavior, and measurable risk reduction.
For example, when Hoxhunt analysts detected a surge in malicious .ics calendar invite attacks, the tactic was quickly incorporated into phishing simulations. The results revealed a significant gap: 24% of users failed the simulation, compared with the typical 4–6% failure rate for users with similar training levels.
Insights like these show not only which attack techniques are rising, but also which ones are most likely to succeed against real employees—helping security leaders prioritize defenses, tailor training, and reduce human cyber risk faster.
