According to DeepLearning.AI, Anthropic reported that hackers linked to China used its Claude Code agentic system to conduct what is described as the first large-scale cyberattack with minimal human involvement. However, independent security researchers challenge this claim, noting that current AI agents struggle to autonomously execute complex cyberattacks and that only a handful of breaches were achieved out of dozens of attempts. This debate highlights the evolving capabilities of AI-powered cybersecurity threats and underscores the need for businesses to assess the actual risks posed by autonomous AI agents. Verified details suggest the practical impact remains limited, but the event signals a growing trend toward the use of generative AI in cyber operations, prompting organizations to strengthen AI-specific security measures.
