Hackers used autonomous AI agent to spy on Thailand's finance ministry

Researchers identified an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agent deployed in a cyber-espionage campaign targeting Thailand's Ministry of Finance. The attack represents an evolution in adversary tactics toward using autonomous systems for intelligence gathering operations.

Why it matters: Government finance and treasury operations worldwide should assess their defenses against AI-augmented espionage, as this demonstrates an operational capability that could be replicated against other nations and sectors.
