A supply chain attack on the Cline coding assistant used prompt injection to silently install a rogue AI agent on thousands of systems. Low-skilled attackers are now using commercial AI to automate large-scale cyberattacks, as demonstrated by a Russian threat actor compromising 600+ FortiGate devices across 55 countries. Security experts warn of a 'lethal trifecta' — agents with access to private data, untrusted content, and external communication channels — that makes data exfiltration trivial.
