What happened
Feed highlights (Apr 19–21, 2026): A supply-chain/third-party compromise at Context.ai led to a Vercel breach that exposed internal systems and some customer credentials. Criminal use of AI is scaling: ATHR — an AI-enabled voice-phishing platform — lets a single operator run automated voice-phishing campaigns. Boost Security released SmokedMeat, an open-source framework that automates attacker-style chains against CI/CD pipelines (compromising runners, harvesting credentials, pivoting to cloud). Researchers published SecureRouter, an encrypted routing layer using Secure Multi-Party Computation
