They all find millions of solutions to existing bugs, issues, exploits, etc.
“Cybersecurity implications: This campaign demonstrates that the barriers to performing sophisticated cyberattacks have dropped substantially—and we can predict that they’ll continue to do so. Threat actors can now use agentic AI systems to do the work of entire teams of experienced hackers with the right set up, analyzing target systems, producing exploit code, and scanning vast datasets of stolen information more efficiently than any human operator. Less experienced and less resourced groups can now potentially perform large-scale attacks of this nature.”—Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign Anthropic
