What happened
Unit42 (April 2026) research highlights an elevated and broad cyber risk landscape driven by frontier AI, multi‑agent systems, cloud-native attack techniques, supply‑chain intrusions and traditional IoT/Wi‑Fi exploits. Key findings include: AI models enabling faster vulnerability discovery and autonomous offensive multi‑agent cloud attacks; critical Amazon Bedrock AgentCore issues (over‑privileged IAM “Agent God Mode” and sandbox escape/DNS tunneling leading to credential exposure); a Vertex AI “double agent” over‑privilege vector and prompt‑injection risks in multi‑agent deployments; supply‑s
