Check Point 2026 AI Security Report: LLMs Now Run Live Attacks

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 9.2 Check Point Research

Check Point Research's 2026 AI Security Report documents a fundamental shift in the threat landscape: AI has moved from a development accelerator to an active operator within live intrusions, with nation-state and criminal actors alike deploying LLMs to conduct hands-on attack operations. The report highlights the maturation of AI-enabled criminal tooling markets, the rise of indirect prompt injection as an operationally relevant attack vector, and persistent enterprise data leakage through unsanctioned AI application use. Agentic architectures are being specifically exploited through planted configuration files that persist malicious instructions across sessions, representing a durable and largely invisible bypass technique.

A Chinese cybercriminal group called Outsider Enterprise exploited Google's Gemini AI to mass-produce phishing pages impersonating Google, YouTube, and government agencies like E-ZPass, offering nearly 300 scam templates via Telegram. Google has filed suit and coordinated with major US carriers to block the resulting smishing campaigns. The case highlights how generative AI lowers the technical barrier for large-scale phishing operations and stress-tests provider-side content controls.

Google has filed suit against a Chinese cybercrime network operating the Outsider phishing-as-a-service kit, which exploited Gemini AI to generate fraudulent phishing pages and power large-scale SMS phishing attacks against Americans. The network used carefully framed prompts — disguised as benign programming requests — to bypass AI safety controls and produce functional credential-harvesting websites. The case illustrates the growing industrialisation of AI-assisted phishing infrastructure, with over 1.59 million malicious URLs and 100,000 victims attributed to the operation.
