Bitdefender has identified the first ransomware attack in Europe utilizing AI agents during its execution, targeting UK schools. The attack involved credential theft, unauthorized account creation, and data exfiltration, with distinct patterns indicating both human and AI involvement. Experts noted that the operation's pace and error patterns suggest AI was used to automate certain tasks. Bitdefender anticipates that hybrid attacks combining human and AI efforts will increase by 2027, while also highlighting that AI usage leaves detectable traces for security teams. The research continues to explore AI's role in cyberattacks, building on previous findings.
