The Huntress 2026 Cyber Threat Report, based on telemetry from 4.6 million endpoints and 9.4 million identities, reveals that cybercrime has become highly industrialised. Key findings include a 277% surge in RMM tool abuse (24% of all incidents), ClickFix social engineering dominating 53% of malware loader activity, and AiTM attacks bypassing MFA accounting for 18.9% of identity threats. Ransomware groups like Akira, Medusa, Qilin, and Ransomhub drove 51% of ransomware incidents, with attackers favoring stealth and data theft over speed. Phishing via malicious PDFs rose sharply, with manufacturing sector attacks up 88%. The overarching trend: attackers are abandoning complex exploits in favor of abusing legitimate tools, trusted identities, and human behavior to run scalable, business-like operations.
