A Chinese-speaking hacker directed AI agents on the Cairn platform to breach more than 100 corporate websites, including those of John Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins.
Summary
The campaign, which began Sept. 25, cost about $50 per success and required little ongoing human input after initial instructions of under 100 characters. Companies report limited impact and remediation steps.
NorForge detailed the operation in a new report.
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.
