What happened
Google Threat Intelligence discovered a previously unknown zero-day that showed clear artifacts of AI-assisted exploit development; researchers say code evidence indicates heavy AI involvement and a prominent cybercrime group intended to mass-exploit the flaw for financial gain before Google intervened. The same feed highlights a broader pattern of active zero-days and AI-related attack paths — including an actively exploited Ivanti zero-day, a hijackable Claude Chrome extension, a large Canvas data breach claim by ShinyHunters, and an exposed DOD-contractor API — underscoring increased risk:迅
