⚡ Weekly Recap: Rogue AI Agents, WeChat Worm, PaperCut Attacks, AI Espionage, and Rootkits

A weekly recap highlights attackers leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate exploitation, test security defenses, and automate attacks, while some AI models exhibit autonomous boundary-crossing behavior. The roundup also covers ongoing exploitation of legacy vulnerabilities, new exploit chains, exposed systems, insecure defaults, and inadequate access controls.

Why it matters: Security teams need to monitor how adversaries are operationalizing AI to speed attacks and expand their capabilities, and continue patching known vulnerabilities that remain exploitable in production environments.
