AI-generated malware is now being mass-produced by nation-state hackers, a major cybercrime forum selling stolen credentials has just been seized by law enforcement, and critical vulnerabilities in widely used enterprise systems could give attackers full control of corporate networks.
At the same time, new espionage campaigns, phishing platforms that bypass multi-factor authentication, and even vehicle tire sensors are creating unexpected security risks.
