What happened

A wave of active and emerging threats across endpoint, cloud, and supply-chain vectors: attackers are leveraging AI to automate EDR evasion and speed exploit development, while phishing-as-a-service (Kali365) and large traffic-distribution operations (DriveSurge) expand ClickFix/FakeUpdate campaigns. Multiple active campaigns and vulnerabilities are highlighted — including exploitation of a PAN-OS GlobalProtect authentication-bypass, large-scale GitHub repo infections (Megalodon), BTMOB RAT MaaS in LatAm, and social-engineering/email compromise of finance executives — alongside application- /云
