The role of credentials in the AI espionage campaign reported by Anthropic
Anthropic recently announced that the company has disrupted the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign. This attack used Claude Code to automate many steps, with AI handling up to 90% of the tasks, including web searches and the autonomous writing of exploit code. The attackers bypassed Claude’s guardrails by breaking each step into small tasks and role-playing as a red team member.
