Cisco ‘warns’ hackers are using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini AI models
Hackers are using advanced generative AI models to create malware and automate cyberattacks. Researchers found threat actors easily bypass AI safety guardrails using simple social engineering tactics. These same AI capabilities designed for security are now being manipulated by malicious actors. Attackers also leverage stolen credentials to run operations on corporate computing power. Organizations must not solely depend on AI model protections for cybersecurity.
