In this episode of The Cyber Threat Perspective, Spencer and Tyler break down the latest trends from the 2026 CrowdStrike Threat Report, focusing on how adversaries are getting quicker and more evasive. They discuss evolving threat techniques, real-world attack examples, and what defenders need to know right now.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- The rise of social engineering, including voice phishing and RMM tools, in rapid data exfiltration attacks
- The increasing effectiveness and popularity of CAPTCHA lures and fake browser update attacks
- How sophisticated adversaries are exploiting internal systems and edge devices faster than ever
- The role of AI in both enabling attackers and shaping future threats
- Why attackers are using more malware-free, “living off the land” techniques—and what that means for defenders
