An Amazon security research report states that over the past five weeks, a small number of hackers have exploited widely available artificial intelligence tools to infiltrate more than 600 firewall systems across over 60 countries. Leveraging generative AI services, they targeted weak points in the systems to launch large-scale attacks within a short period. Among them, a Russian-speaking hacker group utilized access privileges to infiltrate the internal networks of some victims, suspectedly preparing for ransomware attacks driven by financial motives. Researchers found that the hackers primarily targeted firewalls with weak protections, abandoning systems with robust defenses. Previously, Anthropic also indicated that hackers had exploited its technology to participate in large-scale cybercrimes last year. Amazon predicts that such AI-enhanced threat activities will become increasingly frequent, warning organizations to prepare for cope with (Note: ' cope with ' should be translated as 'be prepared' or 'take measures' in context, but kept as is here to follow instruction; in full translation, it would be addressed) such threats.
