Zscaler Research Finds Cybercrime Economics Are Shifting as AI Trades Mass Volume for Lethal Precision
Summary
Zscaler released its 2026 phishing and initial access report and says cybercrime is shifting from high-volume attacks to more precise, AI-assisted campaigns. The report highlights a rise in targeted attacks against services firms, heavy use of encrypted traffic, and growing abuse of AI-generated phishing sites and session-hijacking tools. It also shows attackers probing identity and collaboration platforms at scale before compromise. Zscaler positions its Zero Trust Exchange and TLS inspection capabilities as the response to these trends.
