New Comcast Report Signals That Security Breaches Happen Now in the Thousands Every Second Due to AI

A massive new data set dropped today that shifts everything we know about digital security. The Comcast Business 2026 Cybersecurity Threat Report analyzed 79.3 billion events and revealed a staggering reality: automated AI tools have compressed the window between corporate exposure and network breach to almost zero. Security teams are now fighting off 2,514 events every single second.

The report highlights a critical shift: hackers aren’t breaking into companies anymore—they are simply buying stolen session credentials on the dark web for under $1,000 and logging right past multi-factor authentication (MFA).
