Google says it has discovered hackers using AI to develop zero-day exploit tools for the first time
Google's Threat Intelligence Group has identified the first instance of cybercriminals using artificial intelligence to develop a zero-day exploit. This AI-generated tool was designed to bypass security measures in an open-source system administration tool, potentially for a large-scale attack. While Google successfully thwarted this specific attempt and notified the affected company, researchers believe this marks a significant escalation in AI-assisted cybercrime, with more sophisticated attacks anticipated.
