Kazakhstan-linked hackers used AI to steal Tajik government documents, researchers say
A hacking group tied to Kazakhstan recently used AI to steal more than 2,000 national security-related documents from neighboring Tajikistan, a cybersecurity company said in a report it published on Wednesday.
Singapore-based CloudSek said it caught the cyber spies using Hermes – an open-source framework for autonomous AI agents – after they inadvertently left a server exposed to the internet. Reuters previously reported on how cybercriminals were assigning their break-ins to autonomous AI agents.
