.@AnthropicAI has announced that it disrupted a state-sponsored, AI-led espionage campaign. @CyLab researchers Brian Singer, @lujobauer, and @vyas_sekar demonstrated the capability of this type of attack earlier this year via groundbreaking research:

Carnegie Mellon researchers show how LLMs can be taught to autonomously plan and execute real-world cyberattacks against enterprise-grade network environments—and why this matters for future defenses.
We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.
