What happened
Collection of Microsoft Security Blog posts (March 2026) highlighting AI security and threat activity: guidance on observability and governance for AI systems, detections and playbooks for prompt injection and prompt abuse, and securing agentic AI and Microsoft Purview innovations. Active adversary activity is documented — Storm-2561 uses SEO poisoning to distribute signed trojans that steal VPN credentials, and the Contagious Interview campaign delivers backdoors (OtterCookie, FlexibleFerret) via fake developer interviews to steal API tokens, cloud credentials, crypto wallets, and source code
