Adaptive, Agentic AI Worms Loom as Next Enterprise Threat

A surge of high-risk activity and emerging threat vectors across enterprise environments: researchers warn adaptive, agentic AI “worms” could appear within a year while attackers already use AI to accelerate exploit development and automate EDR-evasion testing. Multiple active supply-chain and propagation campaigns (Rust-written IronWorm targeting NPM, Megalodon mass commits to GitHub, DriveSurge ClickFix/FakeUpdate redirects, Shai-Hulud/TeamPCP follow-ons) and expanding criminal toolsets (Kali365 phishing-as-a-service, BTMOB and Xeno RATs) are impacting developers, cloud integrations, and CV/
