Attackers are using autonomous AI agents (AI systems that can independently perform tasks without constant human direction) in supply chain attacks (compromises targeting the software or services that other programs depend on) to steal cryptocurrency from wallets. While this current campaign focuses on crypto theft, security researchers warn the technique could be adapted for much broader attacks.
