What happened

ESET’s WeLiveSecurity collection (Jan–Apr 2026) covers a broad set of active cyber risks and defensive guidance. Notable threat research highlights include: PromptSpy — the first observed Android malware to incorporate generative AI in its execution flow; DynoWiper and Sandworm analysis (data-wiping attack on Polish energy sector); a Sednit resurgence; Silver Fox targeted phishing campaigns against Japanese firms; and an investigation into “EDR killers” that abuse vulnerable drivers. The feed also includes practical guidance and trend analysis: supply-chain/third-party risk, cloud/VM and cloud
