Suppliers, logins, and AI tools are all becoming attack paths
CrowdStrike's 2026 Threat Hunting Report documents a 4% increase in intrusion activity, driven by attackers exploiting trusted identities, cloud services, software supply chains, and AI tools to evade detection. The growth reflects a shift toward more targeted campaigns that leverage legitimate infrastructure and access paths rather than traditional attack vectors.
Why it matters: Security teams must expand their monitoring and access controls to cover supply chain relationships, cloud services, and AI integrations, as attackers are prioritizing these trusted pathways to avoid triggering alerts.

threat intel
Suppliers, logins, and AI tools are all becoming attack paths
Criminal and state-backed actors are exploiting trusted identities, cloud services, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and software supply chains to infiltrate networks while evading detection, according to CrowdStrike’s 2026 Threat Hunting Report. The report notes a roughly 4% rise in intrusion activity over the past year, reflecting a shift toward more focused campaigns that dedicate additional effort to leveraging legitimate access paths.
Why it matters: Security teams overseeing cloud environments, identity systems, AI platforms, and software supply chains should review trust controls and monitor for abuse of legitimate access to detect stealthy intrusions.
