This report synthesizes Verizon's 2026 DBIR and Keep Aware browser telemetry to highlight growing enterprise risks: widespread Shadow AI usage leading to ungoverned data exfiltration, prevalent browser-based credential theft that evades network/endpoint controls, high-risk and poorly-governed browser extensions, and emerging ClickFix browser-native social engineering; it argues that these threats produce artifacts only visible at the browser layer and urges security teams to add browser-session visibility.
