Mean time-to-exploit just hit 2.1 days. Critical vulnerabilities everywhere. Is the AI apocalypse here?
Mandiant's new figure: attacks begin 7 days before the patch ships. Patch Tuesday is now exploit-last-Friday
Supporting stats:
71% of known exploits hit same-day as disclosure (Zero Day Clock)
40% of breaches start with an unpatched flaw (IBM)
+162% CVE volume since 2020 (Mondoo)
25,973 CVEs filed in 2026 already — heading towards 70k, FIRST.org forecasts up to 100k
And we seem to be seeing a lot of Linux and other software critical vulnerabilities lately, all thanks to AI.
