New Threat Report: AI Accelerates High-Velocity Cyber Attacks

**Executive summary:** Cloudforce One warns that AI and automation have transformed intrusions into high-velocity, scalable operations that favor credential/token theft, cloud/SaaS abuse for covert C2 and data exfiltration, and mass account compromises; the report profiles multiple nation-state-linked groups (e.g., FrumpyToad, PunyToad, NastyShrew, PatheticSlug, CrustyKrill), documents infostealer families like LummaC2 and botnets such as Aisuru driving hyper‑volumetric DDoS, and discloses a critical OpenCode AI agent RCE (CVE-2026-22813), arguing organizations must adopt autonomous, telemetry-driven defenses to reduce attackers' Measure of Effectiveness (MOE).
