Per Unit 42, a low-skill hacker used a jailbroken DeepSeek V4 paired with a Hermes agent to breach an Indian public university and steal 5,200+ student and faculty records — the agent even drafted a "NEXT EXPLOIT OPPORTUNITIES" plan. The poster notes multiple unrelated criminals are independently adopting the same cheap DeepSeek setup, with a meme mocking how Claude refuses risky requests while the Chinese model complies. A stark sign that low-barrier offensive AI tooling is replicating fast.
