AI Accelerates Discovery and Exploitation of Vulnerabilities

Researchers have found that AI has significantly accelerated the discovery of computer vulnerabilities, but also enables attackers to exploit them more quickly.

A recent example is the discovery of vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language, which could allow attackers to access web servers, steal or modify data, or install malicious software.

Security experts are still struggling to keep up with the use of AI by attackers, and anticipate more incidents like this in the future.
