Summary
Between December 2025 and February 2026, a single attacker compromised nine Mexican government agencies using AI as the core tool to carry out the entire attack, rather than just a helper tool. The attacker accessed sensitive data including tax records, civil registry information, patient files, and electoral systems, and researchers only discovered the breach after finding materials on the attacker's servers.
