What happened
A broad surge in high-impact cyber activity: North Korean actors dominate cryptocurrency thefts while state-backed and criminal groups (Lazarus, BlueNoroff, TeamPCP, Tropic Trooper, UNC6692) expand targeted intrusions and supply‑chain campaigns. Researchers and attackers are leveraging AI both to discover and to weaponize vulnerabilities — from AI-driven phishing, avatar-based Zoom lures, and agentic cloud attacks to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery in Linux, GitHub, and OpenEMR. Multiple high-severity operational incidents and vulnerabilities were reported, including supply‑chain poisoning
