Google's Threat Intelligence Group reported catching the first live zero-day exploit built with AI assistance, used by criminal and state-backed hackers. The exploit was discovered targeting software vulnerabilities before patches were available.
Google disclosed that criminal groups and state-linked actors are using commercial AI models to refine and scale up cyberattacks, with evidence showing hackers used AI to build zero-day exploits before Google disrupted the operation.
Google disclosed that hackers used AI and a large language model to create a zero-day exploit, though the company declined to name the threat actor or specific LLM used. Google stated researchers don't believe it was created using Anthropic's models.
