A recent exploit involving a new AI-focused browser shone a light on a critical problem–namely, that browser security is a constant issue, and AI is just making that threat more pronounced. Attackers discovered a way to use that browser’s memory features to implant hidden instructions inside an AI assistant. Once stored, those instructions triggered unwanted actions, such as unauthorised data access or code execution.

The event itself is concerning, but the larger lesson is even more important. The line between browser and operating system continues to blur. Every added function feature brings convenience, but also increases the potential attack surface.

For organisations where security and compliance define daily operations, that expansion demands more scrutiny than ever.

When the federal government shuts down, the public sees closed monuments, unpaid workers, and halted programs. What they do not see is the silent surge of cyberattacks targeting agencies already operating on fumes. During the most recent shutdown, attacks against U.S. government systems spiked by nearly 85%. 

Cybersecurity failures during government disruptions rarely start with code. They start with people under stress. Furloughed workers, unpaid contractors, delayed upgrades, and distracted managers create the perfect storm for social engineering and insider exploitation. The intersection of operational disruption and human vulnerability has become one of the most dangerous frontiers in government cybersecurity.

The world of cyber threats is rapidly evolving, and while we can see these changes more generally, it’s always crucial to understand them concretely. As the 2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report shows us, the landscape of our industry is changing. 

We’re digging into this report to discuss a challenging trend: the move of hackers foregoing malware and traditional attacks to leverage issues with identity management.

This change presents a fundamental rethinking of how modern cybercrime operates and how that impacts compliance.
