A breach that exposed the data of 8.7 million people didn't require nation-state malware or a zero-day exploit, it exploited exposed login credentials sitting in plain view in website code, tied to a third-party marketing platform.

Hackers didn't need to write new malware, they just told a trusted AI coding assistant it was "running a test," and it happily helped them break into ten companies. If a $9-billion AI tool can be talked into attacking its own users, what's stopping the AI plugins already running inside your business?
