OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra autonomously solved a 1941 German Army Enigma message unsolved since 2005, generating its own simulator and Bombe attack after a human pointed it at an archive of unbroken ciphers.
Summary
The plaintext revealed a mundane request for march directions near Rosenow. Verification by Frode Weierud and independent researchers confirms the breakthrough. The event raises fresh questions about AI's growing role in cryptanalysis.
This is a brief wire summary — the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself — they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
