AI helps hackers find flaws no scanner can catch, Google warns

Hackers used AI to discover and exploit a zero-day in a popular web-based admin tool, bypassing two-factor authentication.
Google said it detected the attack before scale and quietly alerted the software vendor.
State-sponsored groups from China and North Korea reportedly showed interest in leveraging AI for vulnerability discovery.
Frontier LLMs can identify high-level flaws and hardcoded static anomalies that ordinary scanners miss.
Russian-linked groups are using AI to develop self-rewriting malware to evade detection.
AI is transforming phishing with targeted, high-fidelity lures for admins and privileged users.
Google is deploying AI agents to find and patch vulnerabilities faster than human teams.
The report notes AI shifts AI from a research tool to an active combatant in security.
Google observed a North Korean group sending thousands of prompts to probe CVEs and PoC exploits.
The report highlights that AI can surface dormant logic errors that appear correct but are broken security-wise.
