Original: Chinese hackers use ARTEX AI in automated attacks against 200 orgs
Chinese-linked hackers have used an AI tool called ARTEX to automate cyberattacks against around 200 organizations, according to a report by BleepingComputer. The campaign shows threat actors increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to scale reconnaissance and intrusion efforts with minimal human involvement. Security teams are being urged to review defenses as AI-driven offensive tooling lowers the cost and skill barrier for large-scale attacks.
Why now: The use of AI to automate attacks at scale marks an escalation in offensive cyber capabilities, raising alarm across the security community.
