AI-driven cyberattacks will start to be the 'new norm' in months, Palo Alto warns
Google said it stopped an AI-assisted mass exploitation attempt as security firms warn attackers are using models to find and weaponize vulnerabilities.
- On Tuesday, May 12, Google's Threat Intelligence Group reported identifying a 'zero-day exploit' developed with AI aid, marking the first known instance of such a sophisticated attack.
- Threat actors trained LLMs on 85,000 vulnerability cases from the Chinese WooYun platform to automate the identification and validation of vulnerabilities with machine-level expertise.
- Fortinet's Accelerate Asia-Pacific report surveyed 585 cybersecurity leaders and found that 57% now consider AI-driven threats their top concern, a sharp increase over the past 5 months.
- Palo Alto Networks tech chief Lee Klarich warned of a 'narrow three-to-five-month window' to outpace adversaries, as Anthropic limited access to its Mythos model for vulnerability testing.
- Experts advocate for an 'ecosystem approach' and a 'humans on the loop' strategy, where AI systems handle automated tasks while human analysts retain oversight of critical decisions.

First AI-developed 'zero-day’ exploit discovered as AI threats become top concern
MANILA, Philippines – At the end of 2025, researchers found that the common AI tools that people use for productivity could also be used to aid in cyberattacks. These tools lowered the skill barrier for attackers, helping them write more sophisticated phishing emails, understand vulnerabilities, and create harmful code. On Tuesday, May 12, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) published its latest report on key developments that signal risi…
An AI wrote a working zero-day exploit — Google caught it first
The exploit targeted two-factor authentication, the verification step that protects most accounts people care about — email, banking, cloud storage, work logins. The vulnerability, a semantic logic flaw in the tool’s Python code, let an attacker who already had stolen credentials walk past the 2FA check by triggering a hardcoded exception the developers never meant to expose. Google identified the bug, disclosed it to the affected vendor for a p…
In a major security alert, Google has announced that it has discovered the world’s first “Zero-day” cyber attack created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). This is considered a major challenge to global cybersecurity. The nature of the attack According to a report released by Google’s Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), a criminal group of hackers has used this AI technology. They: Targeted a previously unknown vulnerability in a popu…
