What happened
Microsoft Security Blog posts (Feb 2026) highlight emerging risks from AI/agentic systems and developer supply-chain abuse. Key items: a developer-targeting campaign using malicious Next.js repositories that chains RCE in standard build workflows into covert staged C2; guidance to threat-model probabilistic and agentic AI applications; risks from self-hosted agents (OpenClaw-like) including credential exposure, weak isolation, and orchestration misconfigurations; and practical detection/mitigation recommendations using Microsoft Defender and Copilot Studio. Microsoft also published guidance on
