CyberSec Trends Q4/26: AI-Driven Attacks, 0day Disclosures and Supply-Chain Attacks Set to Rise
cyb3rops · x · 2026-11-05
Threat intel researcher cyb3rops shares quarterly cybersecurity trend predictions, benchmarked against last quarter's list.
Rising:
- AI-driven attacks (ARTEX, Cairn)
- 0day / critical RCE disclosures
- Software supply-chain attacks
- Token/OAuth app abuse and cloud persistence
Trending up:
- EDR blinding/killing via vulnerable or malicious signed drivers
- Persistence on systems outside EDR coverage
- Abuse of legit RMM/tunneling tools
Compared to his Q4/25 predictions (NPM/PyPI/VSCode supply-chain attacks, EDR blinding, token persistence), most prior calls held; AI-driven attacks and 0day disclosures are the new additions.
