What happened

DarkReading roundup covering a broad surge in offensive and AI-enabled activity: the U.S. White House signals a shift toward preemption/deterrence, multiple nation-state APT campaigns (China, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, India) and AI-assisted attacks/automation are on the rise, and defenders face several actively exploited and high‑severity vulnerabilities. Notable exploited/announced flaws include Qualcomm CVE-2026-21385 and Cisco SD-WAN CVE-2026-20127; Cisco also released dozens of firewall fixes (including critical CVSS 10.0 issues), and VMware Aria Operations has a command‑injection bug.
