Hackers use major AI chatbots to carry out the most comprehensive and profitable AI cybercrime operations known to date and do everything to write ransom notes from using it to find targets.
In a report released Tuesday, Anthropic, the company behind the popular Claude Chatbot, said an unknown hacker “used AI on something that appears to be an unprecedented degree,” researched, hacked and forced at least 17 companies.
Cyber forced by hackers to steal information such as confidential user data and trade secrets is a common criminal tactic. Also, AI has made some of it simpler as it helps you write phishing emails using AI chatbots. Over the last few months, all striped hackers have been incorporating more and more AI tools into their work.
However, the case where humanity was found is the first public instance in which hackers use chatbots from major AI companies to automate almost entire cybercrime.
According to a blog post, one of the regular reports on human threats, the manipulation began with hackers persuading the Claude code. ClaudeCode creates computer programming based on Anthropic chatbots specializing in “Vibe Coding” or simple requests to identify companies that are vulnerable to attacks. Claude then created malicious software to actually steal sensitive information from the company. We then organized the hacked files, analyzed them to determine which ones were more sensitive and what could be used to force victim companies.
The chatbot then analyzed the company's hacked financial documents and helped determine a realistic amount of Bitcoin in exchange for the hacker's promise not to publish the material. I also wrote a terror email.
Jacob Klein, head of human threat intelligence, said the campaign comes from individual hackers outside the US and appears to have been happening over three months.
“There are robust protective measures and multiple layers of defense to detect this type of misuse, but sometimes the determined actors who try to get around our system through sophisticated techniques try to get around our system,” he said.
