News Summary:
Group-IB recently highlighted an emerging era of cybercrime leveraging deepfake video, voice-cloning tools, AI-powered phishing kits, and synthetic identity packages, anticipating a wave of sophisticated attacks that will force a rethink of enterprise security strategies on February 19, 2026. Earlier the same day, Group-IB released findings on a sophisticated fraud campaign exploiting Indonesia’s official Coretax tax platform, which led to an estimated nationwide financial impact of $1.5 million to $2 million. This operation began in July 2025 and intensified in January 2026 during the national tax filing period. Previously, Group-IB warned on February 17, 2026, that supply chain cyber attacks continue to evolve into self-contained ecosystems, according to its High-Tech Crime Trends Report 2026. The report, also detailed on February 16, 2026, determined that attackers are accelerating attacks on upstream vendors and service providers, particularly reshaping the threat landscape across Asia-Pacific as criminals use trusted vendors, software components, and service providers as entry points into wider networks, shifting from single-target intrusions to a connected ecosystem of compromised access, trust relationships, and leaked data.
