PaperCut Attacker Uses Hundreds of AI Agents to Compromise 440+ Instances

A suspected Russian-speaking cyber actor has deployed hundreds of artificial intelligence (AI) agents to exploit recently disclosed vulnerabilities in PaperCut NG/MF, compromising over 440 instances. Security researchers at Blackpoint Cyber and GreyNoise linked the activity to a single IP address with prior threat actor associations.

Why it matters: Organizations running PaperCut NG/MF need to verify their instances have not been compromised and apply available patches immediately, as active exploitation using automated AI-driven tools creates high risk of rapid lateral movement and data theft.
