What happened
A set of DarkReading stories (June 2026) highlights a surge in active, high-impact threats: new malware variants (SprySOCKS Windows variant abusing kernel drivers; Rokarolla Android trojan; Lorem Ipsum using ClickFix), active zero-day exploitation (Ivanti, Check Point VPN, Oracle ERP and others), and ongoing supply‑chain campaigns (Miasma, PyPI and NPM infections). Attackers are also leveraging AI (prompt‑injection/ SearchLeak, AI-assisted phishing and automated EDR‑evasion) and building agentic/AI worm capabilities. Other notable risks include HTTP/2 amplification (DoS) threats against telcos
