JadePuffer Ransomware Used AI Agent to Automate Entire Attack

“JadePuffer used an autonomous AI agent for reconnaissance on the target, to steal credentials, move laterally, establish persistence, escalate privileges, and to encrypt data.”

A ransomware crew handed the entire intrusion to an AI agent. It hit a failed login and fixed it in 31 seconds. The same vendors pitching “agentic AI” to the enterprise built the tool that runs the whole attack chain unsupervised. Lower the skill floor far enough and this is who walks through the door.
