What happened
Unit 42 published multiple April 2026 investigations and threat briefs highlighting a broad set of high-risk issues: AirSnitch attacks that bypass WPA2/3 Wi‑Fi encryption and client isolation; AI-driven vulnerability discovery and prompt-injection/agentic‑AI risks (frontier AI, multi‑agent attacks); critical weaknesses in cloud agent platforms (Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: IAM ‘God Mode’ and sandbox escape via DNS tunneling/credential exposure; GCP Vertex AI overprivilege ‘double agent’); active exploitation of TP-Link command‑injection (CVE-2023-33538) with Mirai‑style payloads; escalating Iran‑
