This will only keep happening, I know some people are skeptical as to what level of function the AI was used, whether it was to write code, or to do the hack, it really doesn't matter, the fact that anyone can use AI to do this, hell people nuke their prod systems with AI, should have every company worth its salt investing in security audits, code scanning and anything they can to find exploits before some 14 year old somehow breaks into your system with AI and wreaks chaos over your infrastructure.

Are you one bad headline away from a major hack? Or worse, one hack away from your company going under? It's all a ticking time bomb.

Someone else on HN pointed out that distros like Debian might be too slow as people find live exploits in the kernel, it might not be worth keeping something like that, on the other hand Ubuntu supports live kernel upgrading at the enterprise level, so maybe Ubuntu Server might be Debian's indirect saving grace.

Article says that it was largely a theory until now. That's not entirely true, we know that hackers used Claude to hack the Mexican government, got the PII of every citizen basically. I would not be surprised if there's more hacks that are undetected. The hackers don't need to declare their use of AI, its irrelevant.
