- AI agents are proving they can automate basic hacking techniques at a speed and scale that is turning the internet's long-standing security gaps into an active liability, according to the source.
- Rather than developing novel exploits, rogue agents simply need to 'speed-run' the same human hacking methods already in widespread use to overwhelm existing defenses.
Why it matters: Defenders built their playbooks around human-pace attacks; when AI compresses the time between probe and breach, the same techniques that were containable before become overwhelming. Every organization relying on existing perimeter and patching cycles is now defending against a faster version of the threats they already faced.
