The useful part

However, current evidence points to semi-autonomous, human-supervised attack chains rather than fully independent AI-driven intrusions in the wild. Threat actors are increasingly operationalizing agentic artificial intelligence to compress cyberattack timelines, automating reconnaissance, vulnerability research, exploit development and credential theft with far less hands-on-keyboard activity.
