AI-enabled attacks are accelerating: same techniques, faster, deployed by far more people

Security researcher Nikesh Arora warns that Mythos-level attack capability is now widely available. Incident responders are seeing critical vulnerability exploits, innocuous-looking social engineering, and daisy-chained public vulnerabilities used for sniper strikes in the wild.
Key points:
- Attacks aren't more sophisticated—the same attacks are faster and executed by far more people.
- Attack path discovery that once took trial and error is now trivial with open-source LLMs.
- You're only as secure as your supply chain: weak upstream/downstream players with infrastructure access are the next attack path; marketplaces and supply chains are easier vectors.
