Cryptographer Matthew Green pushes back on the "nothing to do with AI" framing: while the attacks only exploited long-patched vulnerabilities, he suspects the tooling was written—and possibly the campaign coordinated—using models. "'Not AI' isn't even a thing anymore." The quoted post notes the FBI lost thousands of agents' medical files because contractor Accenture skipped patching, likewise an AI-free but basic-hygiene failure.
