What happened
A single person in Taiwan used a team of 12 AI computer programs to attack hundreds of organisations in 11 countries. The attacks reached emergency services, banks, universities and military systems, and led to confirmed theft of medical data and personal records. The attacks succeeded mainly where basic protections such as passwords and updates were missing.
