The Wiz Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports a rising pattern of LLMjacking in which threat actors compromise privileged Google Cloud Platform (GCP) users solely to offload the cost of large-scale LLM inference onto the victim. Attackers link external, attacker-controlled GCP projects to the victim's billing account, so all Gemi…
Wiz describes a supply chain detection pipeline that analyzes new npm package versions at publication, so malicious releases can be flagged before a CVE or advisory exists. Wiz Research says notable supply chain attacks rose from about 10% of significant incidents in H2 2025 to 25% in H1 2026. The article cites two compromises: the Axios …
The Wiz Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports a growing number of intrusions in which an AI agent system ran the entire operation: finding entry points, harvesting credentials, pivoting across platforms and debugging its own scripts in real time.
