Researchers Claim First Fully Agentic Ransomware: JadePuffer

Researchers have disclosed JadePuffer, a ransomware campaign leveraging autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents to automate attack execution. The discovery marks the first reported instance of fully agentic ransomware in active campaigns.

Why it matters: Security teams need to understand how AI-powered autonomous agents can scale ransomware operations, since attackers can now deploy self-directing malware that reduces manual effort and increases attack velocity.
