- The group used generative AI tools to aid in almost every part of their operations.
- They exfiltrated 26,584 cryptocurrency wallets from victim systems, with a combined value totaling as much $12 million dollars.
- In several cases, the threat actors set up entire front

My take on the story about OpenAI's model going rogue and hacking a competitor's systems, why it matters.
Also probably the fastest turnaround time for a video that I've managed so far. I'd just got off a 12h flight when the story dropped.…
