State of (in)security - Week 11, 2026

During the week of March 9–16, 2026, the cybersecurity landscape saw 22 advisories and 16 incidents including ransomware, data breaches, and actively exploited vulnerabilities in products like SolarWinds, Ivanti, and Salesforce. Over 3.3 million individuals impacted, largely by a single Cal AI breach exposing 3 million records. Malware/ransomware and software vulnerability exploits were the leading causes, hitting sectors from healthcare and finance to consulting and food & beverage.

**If you use AI platforms and chatbots, remember that they are just web applications and have a bunch of other possible flaws. Make sure databases, API endpoints, and system prompts are locked down with proper authentication, access controls, and integrity monitoring, not left exposed as an afterthought. Regularly audit your AI infrastructure for basic web application flaws like exposed APIs, SQL injection, and missing authentication, because even the most advanced AI tools can be undone by classic, well-known security mistakes.**
