An attacker used AI agents to steal data from more than 600,000 credit cards, per Gambit
Between Sept. 10 and 15, the agents launched 105 attack waves and compromised 27 organizations, per security firm Gambit cited by Infobae.
According to Gambit, the attacker is of Chinese origin and financially motivated. It used Hermes, an open-source agent running on Anthropic's opus-4.6 model, along with the Strix penetration testing tool and the Cairn engine, which used DeepSeek v4.1 Flash.
The campaign began in July and cost about $18,000 in total, an average of $25.46 per target, per Infobae. Victims include a Fortune 500 hospitality company and a large US airline.
