Part 3/15:

Historically, the window from vulnerability disclosure to active exploitation was about 2.3 years in 2019, according to Immunefi. Fast forward to 2026, and that period has shrunk to less than 24 hours, with the median time to exploit common vulnerabilities now under five days. Daily, approximately 131 new CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) are disclosed globally, and adversaries are executing lateral movements within networks—sometimes in as little as 27 seconds after gaining initial access.

The acceleration is vividly illustrated by two monumental exploits in April:

• Drift Protocol on Solana, drained of around $285 million after six months of social engineering campaign linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
