Think about this: The cybercriminals took advantage of an AI website builder called Lovable, which had been used to build phishing sites or to host malware campaigns targeting over 5,000 organizations, many mid-sized, through its AI-driven platform. It was not your typical server hack; it started way down on the endpoints and applications that appeared innocent enough.

If a trusted tool can become an attack vector, imagine what a blind spot in your system might invite. Which is why regular penetration testing, or pen testing, is one of the smartest things a business can invest in.

In early 2024, one of the largest U.S. healthcare systems experienced a breach that compromised the data of more than 10 million patients. The specific failure traced back to a single, unpatched server that had slipped through several cycles of vulnerability scans. Cybercriminals exploited that weakness to traverse the network, ultimately exfiltrating a treasure trove of medical records, insurance IDs, and unencrypted internal correspondence. The fallout was severe: regulatory fines, class-action lawsuits, and a battered reputation that may take years to rebuild.
