CrowdStrike Identifies AI-Driven Cyberattacks
CrowdStrike has identified four previously unreported threat actors using AI to conduct cyberintrusions. These AI agents handled reconnaissance, exploitation, and data theft, often operating with limited human oversight. The targets span healthcare, government, and software-as-a-service providers across multiple countries. The report, based on research conducted between mid-May and mid-August 2026, shows a significant increase in the use of AI-driven intrusions, with a threefold increase in the second half of the year compared to the first half.
