Silent SaaS Breaches Went Undetected for Months

Several data exposures occurred not from attacks — but from public links, misconfigured sharing, or unmonitored integrations. No malware, just carelessness.

Healthcare Facilities Fell to Old Exploits

Hospitals and clinics continued to run outdated systems. Attackers didn’t use new tricks — just known vulnerabilities with known patches. Exploits outpaced updates again.

Espionage Used Legitimate Access

Nation-state actors avoided malware entirely, instead compromising contractors and using valid logins. This year’s stealthiest breaches looked like normal activity.

Chatbot Integrations Leaked Sensitive Info

Poorly secured AI assistants stored logs in unsecured buckets or shared entire conversations with third parties. What felt like “productivity” became an info leak.

Banish bad ads for good

Google AdSense's Auto ads lets you designate ad-free zones, giving you full control over your site’s layout and ensuring a seamless experience for your visitors. You decide what matters to your users and maintain your site's aesthetic. Google AdSense helps you balance earning with user experience, making it the better way to earn.

MDM Bypass Let Jailbroken Devices In

Enterprises relying on Mobile Device Management missed devices spoofing compliance. These phones passed checks, but ran compromised firmware. Internal access, no visibility.

Disaster Recovery Plans Were Breached Too

Cold storage backups, DR systems, and alternate data centers weren’t protected at the same level. Attackers knew where companies would turn during recovery — and sabotaged them first.

Attention spans are shrinking. Get proven tips on how to adapt:

Mobile attention is collapsing.

In 2018, mobile ads held attention for 3.4 seconds on average.
Today, it’s just 2.2 seconds.

That’s a 35% drop in only 7 years. And a massive challenge for marketers.
