Original: CrowdStrike: China-linked hackers used AI tool ARTEX with a DeepSeek LLM and another model to target 200+ organizations

CrowdStrike reports that China-linked hackers used an AI tool called ARTEX, combining a DeepSeek large language model with another model, to target more than 200 organizations over 11 days, compromising at least nine of them. The campaign is drawing attention as an early, concrete example of generative AI being operationalized in large-scale cyber intrusions.

Why now: It is a prominent reported case of AI, including Chinese-made DeepSeek, being used to conduct cyberattacks at scale.
