Vectra Cyber Threat Intelligence - April 2026

Written by Shaun Burger | 28/04/26 2:16 AM
April's report is focused on web application security, what we keep finding, and why it matters.
 
What's covered in this edition:
  • Threat spotlight on broken access controls (still top on the OWASP Top 10 for a reason)
  • Stats from our testing on apps
  • Four case studies including the youX breach (444,000 Australians exposed through an unsecured MongoDB cluster)
  • The Axios npm supply chain compromise, where a North Korean actor backdoored a package with 70 million weekly downloads
  • Hardening tips covering API authorisation and dependency auditing - leading to conversations around product, TAS or GRC projects
