AI Runs the Hack: Chinese Actor Automates Cyberattacks With DeepSeek
Unit 42 uncovered an AI-driven Chinese hacking campaign where DeepSeek autonomously scanned targets, selected exploits, and launched attacks. Researchers at Palo Alto’s Unit 42 got a front-row seat to something they’d only theorized about before: an AI system running an actual hacking campaign with almost no human steering it. The researchers spotted a Chinese-speaking actor,…

AI pentesting tools are generating more findings than security teams can validate, new survey finds
New research from Pentest-Tools.com suggests that AI-assisted penetration testing tools are generating vulnerability findings faster than most security teams can verify them, creating a validation backlog that is offsetting the time AI was meant to save. The company surveyed 158 security practitioners in June 2026, including penetration testers, security engineers, AppSec and DevSecOps professionals, consultants,…

Künstliche Intelligenz ist fester Bestandteil moderner Cyberangriffe
Cyberangreifer operationalisieren künstliche Intelligenz nicht nur, um Schwachstellen innerhalb von Stunden auszunutzen, sondern auch, um KI, die in Unternehmen eingesetzt wird, anzugreifen. Zudem nutzen Angreifer sie auch, um Angriffe entlang der Software-Lieferkette zu skalieren. Dies verdeutlicht der aktuelle <> von Crowdstrike.

Risiken der KI-Lieferkette
Die jüngste Offenlegung von kritischen Schwachstellen in großen KI-Repositorien wie Hugging Face verdeutlicht ein grundlegendes Problem. Ausgerechnet jene Plattformen, auf die Unternehmen bei der Entwicklung KI-gestützter Anwendungen setzen, entwickeln sich zunehmend zu einem Einfallstor für systemische Risiken. Mit dem Übergang zu agentenbasierten Systemen gewinnt dieses Problem an Dringlichkeit. Von Shadow-IT zu Shadow-AI Über Jahre […]…

The OpenAI Hack Shows the Genie Is Out of the Bottle
This essay originally appeared in Foreign Policy. Earlier this month, two of OpenAI’s models broke out of their containment sandbox and attacked another AI company. The story is kind of wild. OpenAI was running security tests on two of its models: GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased model that is almost certainly GPT-6. In particular, it…
