State of Cybercrime:
The Ransomware That Ran Itself
A complete attack chain run by an AI agent – with zero human hands on the keyboard.
JadePuffer is the first AI-driven threat actor to execute a ransomware attack end-to-end – autonomously prioritizing targets, adapting in real time to exploit vulnerabilities, and harvesting sensitive data for extortion.
Join Matt and David as they break down what made this attack possible – and why JadePuffer pushes independent AI threat actors from science fiction into real-world operation.
Plus: In our Voices from the Frontlines segment, Threat Labs research Dolev Taler shares his team’s discovery of SearchLeak, the one-click Copilot exploit that turns an AI assistant into a data exfiltration tool.
