In 2025, attackers will likely continue to rely on pre-built <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/3295\/open-source-tools\">open-source tools<\/a> to make their attacks more successful.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;With tools that autonomously do the things that were once tedious and hands-on, cloud attacks will continue to scale up in 2025 to collect more data or credentials and make more money in a matter of minutes with minimal human effort,&#8221; she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>8.
