What if your AI tool could be hijacked to launch a cyberattack?

We are witnessing a turning point in cyber threats.

Key Takeaways:
Agentic AI can carry out complex attacks largely on its own
Attackers now use smaller tasks under false pretexts to bypass safeguards
Defenders must move from reactive to predictive security frameworks

Anthropic just disclosed it disrupted what it calls the first documented large-scale cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. The AI tool Claude Code targeted roughly 30 global organizations including large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturers and government bodies.

Attackers broke tasks down into innocent-looking requests so Claude wouldn’t detect the malicious purpose. They even posed as legitimate cybersecurity testers to convince the system they were benign.

That kind of pattern recognition behavior based defense needs to evolve. AI solutions are no longer optional for protecting sensitive data—they are essential.
