17 million routers.

One Dutch raid.

A quiet cybercrime economy built on disguising malicious activity as ordinary Wi-Fi traffic.

Your router may not be the target. It may be the mask.

An auth bypass on an internet-facing VPN is not just another CVE.

CVE-2026-0257 shows why exposure context matters more than the score alone.

Patch, yes. But first, know whether your configuration is actually exposed.

48 hours after the patch release, attackers were already exploiting CVE-2026-9082 targeting Drupal sites.

Once patches become public, threat actors can quickly reverse engineer vulnerabilities and automate attacks at scale.

Attackers just used AI to build a zero-day 2FA bypass, then weaponised it at scale.

Not targeted. Mass exploitation.

When exploit development speeds up, your exposure window has to shrink.

Ticket closed does not mean risk closed.

Most remediation programs never actually verify the fix is live, effective, and still holding.

The only real test is from the outside, looking in.

Most organisations think they know their attack surface.

Then they watch it for 45 days.

Forgotten subdomains, shadow IT, exposed staging environments. The footprint is always bigger than the inventory.

Phishing has evolved.

Smishing attacks through SMS and messaging apps are becoming increasingly effective as organisations move further into mobile-first environments.

Our latest blog explores how EASM helps organisations detect exposure.

Cybersecurity is shifting from reactive to proactive.

By 2026, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) will play a major role in helping organisations detect threats before attackers exploit them.

GlassWorm is back, hiding in malicious VS Code extensions.

Developer machines hold cloud creds, source code, and production access. EDR misses it. Scanners miss it.

Your attack surface just expanded.

Are passwords still your first line of defence?

That’s the problem.

Passwords were never designed for today’s threat landscape:
• Reused across multiple systems
• Easily phished or socially engineered
• Frequently exposed in data breaches

Are you prepared for threats that aren’t just criminal, but geopolitical?

Cyber risk is no longer just about opportunistic attackers.
It’s strategic, persistent, and often state-linked.

How long could an attacker stay inside your systems undetected?

FIRESTARTER shows the answer: longer than you think.

Backdoors don’t break in. They persist.

Without continuous visibility, you won’t see them.

How many unused accounts still have access to your systems?

Ghost identities = hidden risk.

Old employees. Forgotten vendors. Dormant accounts.

They expand your attack surface without you realising.

If you can’t see them, you can’t secure them.

How many IoT devices are exposed in your organisation?

Attackers like Nexcorium are already scanning for them.

Default creds. Outdated firmware. Weak configs.

If you can’t see your IoT exposure, you can’t secure it.
