Attackers are running ARTEX, a Chinese open-source agentic penetration-testing platform, to carry out autonomous attacks that steal gaming accounts and Apple signing certificates. Researchers found 2,557 systems that host or hosted ARTEX panels, of which 1,608 were live and public. Ten misconfigured instances exposed their full databases, revealing the models, prompts and actions behind the campaigns.
