Cyberattacks by AI agents are coming
Agents could make it easier and cheaper for criminals to hack systems at scale. We need to be ready.
by Rhiannon Williams, April 4, 2025
"Agents are the talk of the AI industry—they’re capable of planning, reasoning, and executing complex tasks like scheduling meetings, ordering groceries, or even taking over your computer to change settings on your behalf. But the same sophisticated abilities that make agents helpful assistants could also make them powerful tools for conducting cyberattacks. They could readily be used to identify vulnerable targets, hijack their systems, and steal valuable data from unsuspecting victims.
"At present, cybercriminals are not deploying AI agents to hack at scale. But researchers have demonstrated that agents are capable of executing complex attacks (Anthropic, for example, observed its Claude LLM successfully replicating an attack designed to steal sensitive information), and cybersecurity experts warn that we should expect to start seeing these types of attacks spilling over into the real world."

Elon Musk claims that the attack came from Ukraine without providing any evidence. The Darkstorm team is an Arab hacker team. I believe that Elon Musk's repeated support for the far right, racism, and attacks on LGBTQ people are the reasons why X was cyber-attacked! Cyber attacks may continue in the future. #TakeDownTwitter #BoycottElon #CyberAttacks
Elon Musk said X was hit Monday by a major cyberattack, raising questions as to whether the politically divisive billionaire — and top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump — is being targeted. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/11/world/musk-x-cyberattack/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #elonmusk #twitter #socialmedia #internet #cyberattacks #donaldtrump #us
