This week’s cybersecurity developments highlight a surge in AI-driven threat activity, active exploitation of critical vulnerabilities, and ongoing social engineering campaigns. From Microsoft patching a Windows bug that blocked Chrome to the discovery of malicious AI-themed browser extensions and renewed ClickFix malware attacks, defenders are facing both technical and human-focused threats. At the same time, reports confirm that state-sponsored groups are deeply integrating AI tools like Gemini into nearly every stage of cyber operations, signaling a significant evolution in how modern attacks are planned and executed.
