Symantec Uncovers AI Agent Hijacking Models for Autonomous Cyber-Attacks
Symantec researchers discovered an artificial intelligence (AI) agent capable of executing a complete cyber-attack autonomously, without human direction or control. The agent operates as a self-directed system to conduct offensive cyber operations.
Why it matters: Security teams face a new threat model where AI systems can independently plan and execute attacks at scale, requiring urgent updates to detection, incident response, and threat modeling practices.
