Google says it likely thwarted effort by hacker group to use AI for 'mass exploitation event'

Google's security team reported that it stopped hackers from using AI models to find and exploit a zero-day vulnerability (a software flaw unknown to developers) as part of a planned large-scale attack that would have bypassed two-factor authentication (a security method using two verification steps). The incident highlights a growing concern that criminals are using available AI tools to discover software weaknesses in ways that could harm companies and organizations.
