What happened
Unit 42 published multiple Apr 2026 reports highlighting elevated risk across cloud, AI, and IoT environments. Key findings include demonstrations of autonomous multi‑agent offensive AI, frontier models accelerating vulnerability discovery and zero‑day development, and platform‑level weaknesses in managed AI services (Amazon Bedrock AgentCore — overprivileged IAM “Agent God Mode” and sandbox escape via DNS tunneling and credential exposure; Vertex AI prompt‑injection/overprivilege risks). Additional research details AirSnitch Wi‑Fi attacks that bypass WPA2/3 and client isolation, attempted Mir
