\u2014 SolanaFloor (@SolanaFloor) May 11, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Google Says AI Is Now Helping Hackers Find Vulnerabilities<\/p>\n For years, cybersecurity experts warned that AI could eventually help hackers discover hidden flaws in software faster than humans. Until now, there had been little public evidence of that happening in real world attacks.<\/p>\n Google now says that has changed.<\/p>\n According to the company, researchers found strong indicators that the exploit code was generated with the help of an AI model. The company clarified that it does not believe its own Gemini chatbot<\/a> was involved.<\/p>\n Google explained that the malicious Python script contained several signs commonly associated with AI generated code. This included unusually detailed educational comments, structured formatting, clean help menus, and even a hallucinated CVSS security score that did not actually exist.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have high confidence that the actor likely leveraged an A.I. model to support the discovery and weaponization of this vulnerability,\u201d Google said in its report.<\/p>\n Security researchers believe these clues are among the clearest evidence yet that AI is moving from being a support tool for hackers to becoming an active part of cyberattack development<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Attack Could Have Triggered Mass Exploitation<\/p>\n The zero day vulnerability reportedly allowed attackers to bypass authentication protections, although hackers still needed valid usernames and passwords to gain access.<\/p>\n Google did not reveal the name of the affected software tool or identify the cybercrime group behind the operation. However, the company said the attackers appeared to be preparing for a widespread exploitation campaign before researchers intervened.<\/p>\n John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google Threat Intelligence Group, described the discovery as an early warning sign for the cybersecurity industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hultquist said:<\/p>\n \u201c<\/p>\n It\u2019s a taste of what\u2019s to come. We believe this is the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n John HultquistChief Analyst \u2013 Google Threat Intelligence Group<\/p>\n The report also noted that modern AI systems are becoming especially good at finding high level logic flaws that traditional security scanners often miss. Instead of searching for common coding mistakes, AI models can increasingly understand developer intent and identify security contradictions hidden deep inside software logic.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t Subscribe To Our Newsletter!<\/p>\n Be the first to get exclusive offers and the latest news.<\/p>\n China and North Korea Linked Groups Expanding AI Use<\/p>\n Google\u2019s wider report also revealed that state sponsored hacking groups from China and North Korea are rapidly increasing their use of AI tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n Chinese linked threat actors reportedly used advanced agentic frameworks such as Strix and Hexstrike during attacks on Japanese technology companies and cybersecurity organizations.<\/p>\n![\"Newsletter\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/newsletter.png\")
