What happened and what to do

In its October 5, 2026 threat intelligence report, Check Point Research describes incidents including the exposure of data from about 6.6 million accounts at Japanese car-sharing service Times Car and the breach of customer information at Polish invoicing platform Fakturownia. The report also covers ransomware affecting a South African air navigation company, AI agents making unsuccessful attacks against government websites, and a ClickFix campaign distributing malware through malicious custom GPTs. In another case, an AI-enabled threat actor automated reconnaissance and destructive actions in a compromised Azure cloud environment.

To address risks like these, a company can map sensitive data and credentials, restrict account and service privileges, monitor changes to storage and applications, and test backup restoration. It can also implement phishing and suspicious-command monitoring, along with procedures to contain incidents and assess data exposure. Priorities and design depend on each organization’s systems and processes.
