AI has crossed a line. Google's Threat Intelligence Group just documented the first zero-day exploit built entirely by AI — and the scarier number buried in the same report is that AI-assisted multi-stage attack handoff times have collapsed from eight hours to 22 seconds over the past year.

Full analysis
Google's Threat Intelligence Group has documented what it describes as the first known zero-day exploit (a previously unknown software vulnerability) built entirely using AI. Google says it disrupted the attack and patched the vulnerability before it was launched, but frames the incident as a clear signal of the escalating threat AI poses to defenders. The company also reports that AI-assisted multi-stage attack handoff times have collapsed from eight hours to just 22 seconds over the past year.
