AI-powered hacking

A new AI tool designed for security vulnerability identification has been weaponized by cybercriminals. Dubbed Hexstrike-AI, this framework drastically reduces the time needed to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, potentially enabling attacks in minutes. It automates complex hacking processes, lowering the technical skill required for sophisticated attacks. Cybersecurity firm Check Point advises organizations to prioritize patch management, adopt AI-driven defense, accelerate incident response, and enhance threat intelligence to combat this emerging threat.
