What happened

A set of Microsoft Security Blog posts (Apr 2026) highlights a surge in diverse, high-impact threats and defensive shifts: AI-enabled account compromise and device-code phishing that scale MFA bypass and live code generation; a severe intent-redirection vulnerability in a widely used Android SDK exposing millions of wallets; a major Axios npm supply-chain compromise attributed to North Korean actor Sapphire Sleet; SOHO router compromises by Forest Blizzard enabling DNS hijacking and adversary-in-the-middle attacks; financially motivated groups Storm-2755 and Storm-1175 conducting payroll theft
