What happened

A broad set of The Hacker News stories highlights a sharp increase in both vulnerability discovery and active exploitation, exacerbated by AI tools (Anthropic's Mythos/Project Glasswing) that can find bugs at scale and shrink remediation windows. Key incidents include LMDeploy (CVE-2026-33626) being exploited within 13 hours of disclosure, multiple supply‑chain compromises (Bitwarden CLI, Checkmarx/KICS Docker images, malicious VS Code extensions and npm package worming), and CISA additions to the KEV list (including CVE-2024-57726). Nation-state and criminal activity remain active: backdoors/
