Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign
13 Nov 2025

We recently argued that an inflection point had been reached in
cybersecurity: a point at which AI models had become genuinely useful
for cybersecurity operations, both for good and for ill. This was
based on systematic evaluations showing cyber capabilities doubling in
six months; we’d also been tracking real-world cyberattacks, observing
how malicious actors were using AI capabilities. While we predicted
these capabilities would continue to evolve, what has stood out to us
is how quickly they have done so at scale.

This campaign has substantial implications for cybersecurity in the
age of AI “agents”—systems that can be run autonomously for long
periods of time and that complete complex tasks largely independent of
human intervention. Agents are valuable for everyday work and
productivity—but in the wrong hands, they can substantially increase
the viability of large-scale cyberattacks.
