What happened
SANS ISC diary items (July 7–13, 2026) highlight several active threats and defensive notes: actors are scanning for exposed MCP servers and AI-assistant endpoints to harvest credentials or API keys; attackers are experimenting with HTML “comment stuffing” in phishing attachments to evade AI-based detectors; Wireshark 4.6.7 was released addressing 12 vulnerabilities (users should patch); an explanatory piece on stack behavior reviews memory, stack overflows and exploitation risk; and DNS oddities (NIMLOC) and other community posts/podcasts were noted. Overall the feed emphasizes reconnaissance
