Recorded Future’s CTA-2026 report reviews 2025 cyber threats: synchronized state-sponsored operations and hacktivist influence campaigns (Middle East, India–Pakistan, Thailand–Cambodia, Russia–NATO), a transforming cybercrime ecosystem (fragmented RaaS, infostealers, Telegram/private infrastructure, Southeast Asian fraud rings), and accelerating offensive and abuse uses of AI (deepfakes, LLM attacks, AI-assisted malware). The report highlights exploitation of known CVEs, cross-over between state actors and criminal ransomware groups, law-enforcement disruptions, and strategic forecasts and mitigations for 2026.
