Ireland Cybersecurity Threat Landscape 2025

Ireland’s digital ecosystem is facing unprecedented cyber risks. From the rapid escalation of dark web chatter to a 1,200% surge in stolen financial data, the threat environment has become more aggressive and complex than ever before.

Key Findings:

🔹 Dark Web Focus: Mentions of Ireland on underground platforms exceeded 340,000 per month in mid-2025.

🔹 Stolen Data Explosion: Credit card data theft jumped from 4,500 in 2024 to over 60,000 in 2025.

🔹 Credential Exposures: Telecommunications and energy sectors are the most targeted, putting critical infrastructure at risk.

🔹 Ransomware Impact: Over 49 ransomware attacks confirmed, disrupting manufacturing, IT, healthcare, and more.

Why It Matters:
Ireland’s role as a hub for global businesses and financial services makes it a prime target for cybercriminals and state-aligned actors. These attacks don’t just affect direct victims—they create ripple effects across supply chains, customers, and the wider economy.
