What happened
An October 2026 Infosecurity Magazine digest highlights a sharp rise in cyber risk: record-scale vulnerability disclosures, active exploitation of Palo Alto, Atlassian, Fortinet and Citrix products, ransomware growth, major supply-chain and cloud-account breaches, and increasingly capable AI-assisted attacks. It also covers state-linked campaigns, malware targeting telecom and IoT infrastructure, phishing and prompt-injection techniques, and emerging post-quantum cryptography readiness gaps.
