What happened
This DarkReading feed aggregates multiple high-risk trends and active campaigns from late May–early June 2026: Internet-exposed fuel tank gauges are being exploited to breach and potentially disrupt gas stations; a Rust-written 'IronWorm' campaign is targeting the npm supply chain to steal developer credentials; and a PAN-OS GlobalProtect authentication bypass is under active exploit (patch now). Attackers are increasingly using AI to accelerate exploit development and to automate EDR-evasion testing, while AI-native threats (agentic/adaptive worms and prompt-injection vectors) and malicious L
