A Kazakhstan-linked hacking group used autonomous artificial intelligence agents to steal more than 2,000 national security-related documents from Tajikistan, cybersecurity firm CloudSek said on Wednesday (November 11).
The group, identified as Silent Lynx, reportedly used an open-source AI framework called Hermes to conduct reconnaissance, break into Tajikistan's electronic document system and automate the theft of sensitive files. Researchers said the hackers accidentally exposed a server containing evidence of the operation.
The incident highlights growing concerns over the use of autonomous AI tools in sophisticated cyber espionage.
