What happened and what to do
In its November 2, 2026 report, Check Point Research summarizes incidents observed during the week, including attacks on a cryptocurrency exchange and a prediction platform, as well as breaches involving vendors that affected airline passengers and users of a student services site. The report also describes AI agents supporting network reconnaissance and ransomware attacks, and an espionage campaign targeting more than 200 organizations in at least 14 countries, involving credential theft and deployment of a backdoor.
To reduce similar risks, a company can map privileged access and third-party dependencies, monitor endpoint and external-service activity, and centralize identity, network and application alerts. Practical steps include setting controls for credentials and sessions, tracking changes to scripts supplied by third parties, and testing incident detection and response procedures.
