Google has identified the first known case of hackers using AI to discover a zero-day vulnerability. The threat group allegedly used an AI model to find and weaponise a security flaw in a popular open-source web administration tool that would have bypassed two-factor authentication. Google says it has high confidence AI was used based on hallmarks in the Python script. https://gizmodo.com/google-says-it-found-evidence-of-hackers-using-ai-to-discover-a-zero-day-vulnerability-2000757238 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics
