Original: Automated AI agent used to breach cybersecurity nonprofit DIVD
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), a nonprofit that coordinates vulnerability reporting, was itself breached by an automated AI agent, according to BleepingComputer. The attack is being flagged as a notable example of autonomous AI being used offensively in cyberattacks, hitting an organisation dedicated to improving security. Details on the extent of the intrusion and data affected remain limited as reporting continues.
Why now: It is an early, high-profile case of an autonomous AI agent conducting a real cyberattack, and the target being a cybersecurity nonprofit adds irony and urgency.
