What happened

A Microsoft Security Blog roundup highlighting multiple high-priority threats and trends in April 2026. Key items: the concept of an ‘‘agentic SOC’’ where autonomous agents speed detection/response; Storm-2755 “payroll pirate” campaigns compromising Canadian employee accounts to divert salaries; a severe intent‑redirection vulnerability in a widely used Android SDK exposing millions of wallets; SOHO router compromises (attributed to Forest Blizzard) leading to DNS hijacking and adversary‑in‑the‑middle activity; an AI‑enabled device‑code phishing campaign that generates live auth codes to scale
