Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI models, including versions of Anthropic's Claude and DeepSeek, to bypass security guardrails and conduct sophisticated attacks. Researchers from CrowdStrike observed four distinct threat groups using AI infrastructure to automate and scale their campaigns, compromising targets by exploiting differences in model safeguards and employing traditional jailbreaking techniques. These actors often tricked models into believing their activities were authorized for security testing, with some even attempting to patch models to remove safety instructions. AI
IMPACT Criminals are effectively using existing AI models to bypass security, highlighting the need for more robust AI safety measures and defenses.
RANK_REASON The cluster discusses the use of existing AI models by cybercriminals, not a new release from a frontier lab.
