@joancomarti How will an enterprise validate the patch before rolling it out?
The encrypted patch could be a backdoor, no one is deploying that to their infrastructure with verbal trust.
The China state-aligned threat actor Storm-0940 used the agentic AI penetration testing framework ARTEX to automate attacks targeting hundreds of organizations globally across a broad range of industries. Microsoft Threat Intelligence assesses that Storm-0940 was responsible for the recently disclosed ConnectWise supply chain compromise of a multitenant application. https://t.co/VXovj0jI90
Our investigation found that Storm-0940's use of ARTEX accelerated the speed of compromised application abuse to authenticate to target environments through applications that had already been granted access, allowing the threat actor to operate without requiring an interactive user sign-in. AI-accelerated follow-on activity included reconnaissance, application credential changes, and attempts to modify privileges that could enable expanded or persistent access.
Read our blog for a detailed analysis and indicators of compromise (IOCs), along with Microsoft Defender detections, protection recommendations, and guidance on investigating service principal sign-ins and unexpected application credential or privilege changes.
@GergelyOrosz@pamelafox This reminds me of my grad school class: to build a kernel from scratch. No one need to do that in a day job, but immensely powerful to learn systems.
@vaibhavdotcv Before delegating to an LLM, complete the entire feedback loop.
Whatโs the expected outcome of delegations? Have you created a spec which clearly states what the LLM has to perform? Are guardrails/evals set? And is it worth doing that all for the task.
