Human Error/Carelessness + AI = Big Trouble: Security Report
telecompetitor, Friday, October 24th, 2025
Verizon Business doesn't pull any punches in the 2025 Mobile Security Index. Its new report said that persistent human error and proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered attacks are causing big problems.
The organization found that 85% of organizations reported an increase in mobile attacks and that 63% experienced downtime lasting more than one day. This was a 16% jump from last year. The survey found that half of respondents lost data and 36% 'faced cyber insurance penalties.'
AI is a powerful tool for bad actors who rely on the carelessness of many employees. Ninety-three percent of organizations surveyed for the report said folks who work for them use generative AI on their mobile devices.
