Autonomous AI attack compromises Asian government entities
Dream's threat team recovered an attacker-operated autonomous system's working directory after twelve attack waves over four days. The campaign cracked 85 employee accounts, stole personnel and network data, and expanded toward government suppliers, a nuclear-safety agency, and energy companies. The underlying model and attacker remain unidentified.
