What happened
Stamos argues that AI-enabled tooling now automates most of the kill chain, finding bugs and writing exploits in real time against targets. He describes a chain in which a Fireworks breach yielded API keys used to access Cursor, after which a malicious plugin reached about 5,000 companies. He says the ARTEX tool, reportedly paired with a modified GLM-5.3 backend, began with three South Korean banks and has since reached about 200 more companies. No CVE identifiers are given.
