The emergence of AI-driven cybercrime platforms has fundamentally reshaped the threat landscape. Few developments illustrate this shift more clearly than the ATHR platform and its enablement of Telephone-Oriented Attack Delivery (TOAD) attacks. By combining traditional social engineering with advanc
The escalation of Iranian cyber activity targeting critical infrastructure has become a defining feature of the 2026 threat landscape, prompting urgent warnings from U.S. government agencies and cybersecurity firms. Recent joint advisories from the FBI, CISA, NSA, and international partners highligh
