The attack succeeded not through exotic means but by exploiting familiar weaknesses: an unpatched vulnerability in a package registry cache proxy, reusable credentials, and overly broad permissions. The key takeaway is that AI doesn't change which security fundamentals matter — it changes the speed at which gaps can be found and exploited. Organizations need broad visibility, machine-speed detection and response, and proactive exposure management to keep pace with AI-driven adversaries. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
