AI Tools Are Generating Massive Attacks for Little Cost

Attackers are leveraging AI tools to launch large-scale attacks at a relatively low cost. One notable campaign used open-weight models to target 105 sites, while another campaign achieved full domain control for just $12 using public models. The use of AI tools in these attacks is forcing a reevaluation of cyber-defense strategies. The low cost and effectiveness of these attacks are significant concerns. Cyber-defense will need to adapt to counter these new types of threats.
