While at first glance the incident appeared to be a malicious but standard spam campaign, the reality […]
The Rise of the Autonomous Attacker: Unmasking the "LLMjacking" Threat
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a new and alarming breed of threat has emerged: the AI-driven autonomous agent. Researchers at Symantec have recently uncovered a sophisticated attack tool that effectively weaponizes Large Language Models (LLMs) against their own infrastructure. This phenomenon, dubbed "LLMjacking," represents a significant leap in the capability of malicious actors, […]
The Dawn of Machine-Speed Warfare: How State-Aligned Threat Actors Are Weaponizing Agentic AI in Global Supply Chain Attacks
