Chinese hackers are running AI on stolen networks to avoid detection, Google says
- Hackers working for Chinese intelligence are increasingly targeting American AI research and using AI in their operations, Google said Tuesday.
- In its latest quarterly report, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group said that several hacker groups, including both intelligence agencies and cybercrime gangs, have moved from basic AI prompting to using AI agents that automate wide swaths of their intrusion.
- The switch means hackers spend drastically less time actively hacking, and in some cases can conduct an entire campaign in less than six hours, the report says.
