What an eye-opening article as it relates to security.

I’ll leave these snippets here:

There is no hiding anymore and the defender is not awarded rest on the assumption that a human is not sufficiently motivated or lacks the time to look deeply into breaking our particular system. Their robot agent will do it for them.

In the shorter term, if you thought you had a month or more to patch your production when a critical CVE is published impacting a publicly accessible system, think again. You have hours at most. All organizations have to process changes to match this reality on the ground.

Interestingly, I think 3rd-world countries and particularly African countries, will be hard hit by these kinds of AI attacks because most of our systems are NOT secure, and we are always playing catch-up to the rest of the world.
