CrowdStrike: AI Agents Used to Target 200+ Organizations

CrowdStrike says a China-linked group tracked as VAPOR PANDA used an AI-powered penetration-testing framework called ARTEX to target more than 200 government and business organizations across at least 14 countries over 11 days, confirming post-exploitation activity at nine. Microsoft separately reported another group, Storm-0940, using ARTEX to gain privileged cloud access in under three hours in some cases.
