Hackers Are Now Using AI Coding Tools to Attack Companies
Security researchers recently uncovered a major ransomware group using an AI tool called Cursor. This software is designed to help developers write code, but hackers used it to assist in their attacks.
The group used this AI to navigate systems and steal data from at least ten different companies over a six week period. By using the tool, they could move faster and operate more effectively inside private networks.
This marks a new trend where attackers use everyday developer tools to hide their tracks. Companies should stay alert as hackers find more ways to turn legitimate technology against their victims.
