Cloudflare Says Attackers Now 'Log In' Rather Than 'Break In'
Cloudflare blocks an average of 230 billion daily threats as AI tools enable attackers to hijack credentials and conduct supply-chain compromises with growing precision.
- On 03/03/2026, Cloudflare published its inaugural 2026 Cloudflare Threat Report, warning that AI has erased the technical barrier to credential-based cyberattacks and highlighting record DDoS attacks at 31.4 Tbps.
- Cloudflare researchers say identity and credentials have replaced malware as the biggest threat vector, with attackers using legitimate credentials to evade detection.
- Security researchers detail that North Korean operatives use AI deepfakes and fraudulent IDs to join corporate payrolls, while attackers leverage U.S.-based "laptop farms" for supply-chain compromises and state-sponsored groups Salt Typhoon and Linen Typhoon target North American telecoms and government.
- For businesses and investors, the report finds Cloudflare blocks about 230 billion threats daily, saw criminals attempt roughly $123.5 million theft in 2025, and warns fraudsters target $49,000 amounts.
