Today marks the launch of the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), one of the cybersecurity industry’s most trusted reports.

HackNotice is proud to join this year’s DBIR as a contributor.

The DBIR has long helped security teams understand how attackers operate, how breaches occur, and how the threat landscape evolves over time. But one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity is what happens between reports.

Threat actors do not wait for annual publications.

Ransomware gangs evolve weekly. Initial access techniques shift constantly. New infostealer campaigns emerge daily. Attack infrastructure, trafficked data, and attacker behavior change in real time.

That’s where HackNotice fits into the ecosystem.

As a combined Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) platform, HackNotice helps organizations operationalize many of the same trends highlighted in the DBIR, but in real time.

One of the major themes reinforced in this year’s report is the growing role of infostealer activity as a precursor signal to ransomware attacks. We actively monitor and surface these patterns across organizations, industries, and third-party ecosystems to help security teams identify elevated risk before a ransomware incident fully unfolds.

HackNotice provides continuous visibility into:

• Real-time ransomware activity
• Data breaches and active incidents
• Infostealer log exposure and trafficked data
• Emerging threat actor trends and targeting patterns
• Industry, regional, and company-size attack trends
• Third- and fourth-party ecosystem exposure

The DBIR is one of the best retrospective views of the threat landscape available to defenders.

HackNotice helps organizations stay current between releases.
