What happened
Alex Stamos, chief security officer at Cognition, says AI has sped up attacks, with both criminal and state actors automating much of the attack chain. He describes breaches at AI service providers, including Fireworks, where stolen API keys reportedly let attackers into Cursor, which then pushed a bad plugin affecting about 5,000 companies. He also cites the Binance hack, which he calls the largest heist in history, and an open-source Chinese tool called ARTEX.
