A hacker broke into John Deere and SharkNinja with an army of AI agents

AI agents can be given a goal and left to work through the steps alone, logging progress as they go. Security firm Norforge found more than 20 exposed instances of Cairn, an open-source problem-solving engine, including one attacker who used it to break into over 100 sites, about 23 hours per breach. Victims reportedly include John Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins.
