In Bitsight’s annual State of the Underground report we discuss cyber threat trends, key players, attack vectors, and why it all matters. The key theme from the 2026 State of the Underground is that cyber risk is changing as we know it. We are starting to see threat actors pivot alongside the changing threat landscape. We also explored how the threat landscape is reacting to the ever-growing changes brought on by AI.

For years, application security teams have focused on a familiar set of questions: Is the code secure? Are the dependencies vulnerable? Is the build pipeline protected? Are issues being caught before they reach production? Agentic development adds a new question: What systems, tools, instructions, and permissions helped produce this code? AI coding agents are no longer just suggesting snippets or completing lines of code.

Today, we're announcing Agentic Development Security (ADS), a new Evo solution designed for securing AI-driven software development. AI agents are now active participants in the software development process, selecting tools, executing actions across systems, and generating production-ready code at machine speed.

As organizations adopt AI agents to build software, security teams face a new challenge: risk is no longer introduced only through the code that gets produced. It emerges continuously through the tools agents use, the actions they take, and the code they generate. This is the problem Evo Agentic Development Security (ADS) was designed to solve. ADS secures all three layers of the agentic development system—what agents use, what they do, and what they generate.

The foundation of modern-day software development relies heavily on translating requirements into products through traceability, collaboration, and reproducibility. Software artifacts are instrumental in this process, facilitating development across all areas, including application development, CI/CD pipelines, and compliance.

Threat actors are increasingly abusing workplace collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams to launch social engineering attacks, according to researchers at Palo Alto Networks’s Unit 42. Attackers are sending Teams messages that impersonate IT personnel, asking users to approve a multifactor authentication prompt. Both criminal and nation-state threat actors are using this social engineering technique to compromise organizations’ environments.

A newly surfaced extortion brand called “Pink” is using voice phishing and fake IT support calls to breach organizations, the Register reports. The threat actor may be a rebrand of prior extortion groups, including BlackFile and Redact, though its tactics remain the same.

LiteLLM, a widely deployed open-source AI gateway, is affected by a critical exploit chain that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable hosts. CISA added CVE-2026-42271 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on June 9, 2026, confirming active exploitation in the wild. The Qilin ransomware group has been linked to exploitation activity. What makes this especially dangerous is the chain: CVE-2026-42271 on its own required a valid API key.
