Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 published research on November 12: Chinese-speaking attackers used AI agents powered by DeepSeek and Zhipu GLM to autonomously breach 10 organizations across the semiconductor, US defense policy, and civil society sectors during August–September 2026.
This is one of the first publicly reported campaigns where AI agents played an autonomous execution role in real intrusions, marking a shift from AI-assisted tooling to agent-driven operations — a significant signal for AI security and model abuse defense.
