What happened
A broad set of DarkReading stories highlights rising operational and national-security cyber risks: exploited and disclosed vulnerabilities (including a targeted Qualcomm zero-day CVE-2026-21385, exploited VMware Aria Operations command-injection, and dozens of Cisco firewall bugs) put cloud and edge resources at risk; Microsoft shipped a large March patch bundle; AI is being abused for malware assembly, social-engineering and as an attack surface (fake Claude/InstallFix sites, AI-assisted scams); multiple nation-state actors (Russia, China, DPRK, Iran, Pakistan, India-linked groups) are more活
