This threat intelligence report from Check Point Research dated 26th January 2026 details multiple significant cybersecurity incidents and emerging threat trends. The RansomHub ransomware group claimed a cyberattack on Luxshare Precision Industry, a major electronics manufacturer supplying Apple, Nvidia, LG, Tesla, and others. The attackers assert they accessed sensitive intellectual property including 3D CAD models, circuit board designs, and engineering documentation, which could enable industrial espionage or sabotage. Luxshare has not publicly confirmed the breach, but the claim alone signals a serious supply chain risk. Additional breaches include Under Armour, where 72 million customer records were leaked following a ransomware attack, exposing personally identifiable information (PII) that could facilitate identity theft and phishing. Raaga, an Indian music streaming platform, suffered a breach exposing 10.2 million user records with weakly hashed passwords, increasing credential stuffing risks. In Europe, Germany’s Dresden State Art Collections experienced a cyberattack that disrupted digital services and visitor operations, impacting availability but with no data theft reported. The report highlights advanced AI threats such as indirect prompt injection vulnerabilities in Google’s Gemini assistant, enabling attackers to bypass privacy controls and exfiltrate meeting data. AI-generated polymorphic JavaScript malware evades traditional detection by dynamically generating malicious code at runtime. Moreover, advanced language models produced multiple zero-day exploits for QuickJS, demonstrating AI’s role in accelerating exploit development. Several high-severity vulnerabilities were disclosed, including Anthropic’s MCP server flaws enabling remote code execution via prompt injection, a critical command injection in Zoom’s multimedia routers, and active exploitation of Fortinet FortiCloud SSO bypass vulnerabilities allowing persistent unauthorized access and data exfiltration. The report also describes AI-driven malware development methodologies and ongoing phishing campaigns targeting software developers and engineering teams in Asia-Pacific, as well as finance-themed Microsoft Teams phishing attacks. A new ransomware family, Osiris, uses legitimate Windows tools combined with custom drivers to disable security software and exfiltrate data before encryption. North Korean threat actors continue spear-phishing campaigns targeting South Korea using living-off-the-land techniques. Overall, the report illustrates a complex threat landscape combining ransomware, data breaches, AI-assisted attacks, and supply chain risks affecting multiple sectors globally.

European organizations, particularly those involved in manufacturing, technology supply chains, cultural institutions, and critical infrastructure, face multifaceted risks from these threats. The alleged breach of Luxshare threatens the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive intellectual property critical to European manufacturers and their supply chains, potentially enabling industrial espionage or sabotage that could disrupt production and innovation. The disruption of Germany’s Dresden State Art Collections demonstrates the impact on availability of essential cultural services, affecting public access and operational continuity. Data breaches exposing millions of user records increase the risk of identity theft, phishing, and credential stuffing attacks against European citizens and organizations. The exploitation of vulnerabilities in widely deployed platforms like Zoom and Fortinet firewalls threatens the integrity and availability of communication and network security infrastructure, potentially allowing unauthorized access, persistent footholds, and data exfiltration. The rise of AI-driven attack techniques complicates detection and response, increasing the likelihood of successful intrusions and lateral movement within networks. Phishing campaigns targeting software developers and engineering teams could lead to supply chain compromises affecting European technology sectors. Overall, these threats could result in financial losses, reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR, and erosion of trust in digital services across Europe.

European organizations should implement targeted measures beyond generic advice to address these evolving threats. For supply chain risks like the Luxshare incident, conduct thorough security assessments of third-party vendors, enforce strict access controls to sensitive design data, and monitor for anomalous data exfiltration patterns using advanced data loss prevention (DLP) tools. Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of identifying ransomware behaviors and AI-generated polymorphic malware. Regularly update and patch critical infrastructure components, prioritizing fixes for known exploited vulnerabilities such as those in Fortinet firewalls and Zoom multimedia routers. Enhance network segmentation to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. Employ AI-enhanced threat detection platforms to identify sophisticated prompt injection and AI-driven attack techniques. Conduct targeted phishing awareness training focused on emerging tactics like Microsoft Teams guest invitation abuse and blockchain-themed lures. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and robust identity governance to prevent unauthorized access via SSO bypasses. For cultural institutions, develop incident response plans that maintain service continuity during cyber disruptions. Finally, collaborate with national cybersecurity centers and share threat intelligence to stay ahead of rapidly evolving AI-assisted threats.
