Report Details AI Tactics and Techniques Used to Launch Cyberattacks

Abstract Security and Gambit Security analyzed 105 AI-assisted attacks against 27 companies that used an AI harness (Strix, Cairn, Hermes via OpenRouter) to rapidly compromise targets, steal at least 600,000 unexpired credit card records, and deploy card‑skimming scripts; the actors (likely Chinese) employed AI agents to orchestrate, hide, and scale attacks while exhibiting detectable patterns in HTTP libraries and TLS fingerprints.
