Google detects first AI-developed zero-day exploit
Google Threat Intelligence Group detected the first known instance of a threat actor using an AI-developed zero-day exploit. The group disrupted preparations for a wide-scale campaign before execution. The finding is included in a new report on AI-powered threats.
This is only the beginning.
The Google Threat Intelligence Group has detected the first known instance of a threat actor using an AI-developed zero-day exploit in the wild. While the attackers planned a wide-scale strike, our proactive counter-discovery may have prevented that from happening. This finding is part of our new report on AI-powered threats.

Even without releasing Mythos, cyberattack threat surfaces are way larger than you'd think. Attackers can put agents into an RL-like loop until they find vulnerabilities and lift attack success rates. Expect to see big scale-up of cyberattack efforts in the coming years.
