Chinese state-aligned hackers breached ConnectWise's cloud backup service, stealing application credentials to access thousands of corporate Microsoft-hosted environments. The attackers deployed ARTEX, an open-source AI agent framework, to automate intrusions across approximately 2,250 organisations at nearly 3,000 sign-in attempts per minute. The incident marks a significant escalation in adversarial use of AI agents for large-scale, high-velocity credential-based attacks.
