Critical PHP vulnerabilities continue to pose risks. Act now.
In autumn 2026, companies and other organizations in Japan reported a succession of data leaks from their web systems. The Japanese government’s National Cybersecurity Office issued an alert to businesses on October 9, and the chair of the ruling party’s cybersecurity headquarters described cyberspace as being in a “state of emergency.”
The number of security incidents publicly disclosed in Japan surged from September 2026. This article reviews incidents disclosed from January through September and explains what the data reveals.
TrendAI™ incident response teams have recently investigated multiple attacks on public-facing web servers and databases. This article explains the hardening measures organizations should implement now to protect their web servers.
Ransomware has evolved from an encryption-driven attack into one monetization path within a modular criminal economy, where access to victim environments, not the ransomware payload, is now the core commodity.
Our TrendAI™ Research team developed AIxploit, a framework that systematically maps an agent’s AI-native attack surface through attack testing.
How AI is accelerating traditional security failures, and why familiar threats are now harder to detect and contain.
We examine how OpenClaw’s exposed deployments, plaintext credential storage, prompt injection risks, unguarded MCP integrations, and malicious third-party skills amplify the security risks of agentic AI at enterprise scale.
The critical systems we can’t afford to lose are the same ones attackers are racing to target. With a new generation of AI-augmented cyber threats, what used to be weeks of warning can collapse into mere hours. What is the current state of the threat landscape for essential industries, and what can organizations do to fortify their defenses? Uncover this and more in our report.
China-aligned operational relay box (ORB) infrastructure is harvesting open sensor data at scale, and most defenders can't see it. Our report dives into how these ORBs can use open telemetry for data collection and other purposes.
TrendAI™ Research went inside the forums, marketplaces, and Telegram channels where access to factories, utilities, and energy firms is bought, sold, and weaponized. Combing through two years’ worth of data revealed an underground where financially motivated brokers and ransomware crews now operate alongside state-aligned hacktivists, sharing the same entry vectors, the same pirated training, and in some cases, the same personnel.
What happens to an unpatched or vulnerable application or organization’s IT infrastructure? Here's how virtual patching helps enterprises address vulnerability and patch management woes.
Sovereign AI places responsibility for every layer of the security stack in the operator's hands, and this article examines the threats that accompany that shift alongside the practical controls that keep nationally owned AI systems trustworthy.
TrendAI™ Research's investigation of ICS protocols near U.S. data centers uncovered thousands of vulnerable devices controlling critical cooling, power, and environmental infrastructure. These systems—designed for operational efficiency, not security—were accessible from the public internet.
This final installment of our trilogy on Pwning Agentic AI covers defenses against the return-to-tool (RTT) attacks—read-only Postgres bypass, support-ticket ransomware, and KYC passport exfiltration—demonstrated in Part II. Here we take a look at what works and what doesn’t against this new class of attack.
