AI intrusion refers to unauthorized or adversarial access to an AI system or the exploitation of its components, including model weights, training data, APIs, or inference outputs. This could involve prompt injection, model hijacking, or adversarial examples that cause. AI-assisted attacks are faster and harder to detect, using valid credentials and normal behavior to bypass traditional defenses. Fidelis Deception® flips detection logic by controlling what attackers see, turning reconnaissance into immediate detection. In early 2026, IBM X-Force discovered a likely AI-generated novel malware which we are dubbing "Slopoly," used during a ransomware attack. The operators are part of a group tracked as Hive0163, whose main objective is extortion through large-scale data exfiltration and ransomware. Since our February 2026 report on AI-related threat activity, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has continued to track a maturing transition from nascent AI-enabled operations to the industrial-scale application of generative models within adversarial workflows. Introduction: The Strategic Advantage of AI in Network Security Modern networks generate massive amounts of data every second, making manual monitoring and analysis virtually impossible. But what happens when a critical flaw exposes these powerful systems to hackers? Recent discoveries have unveiled vulnerabilities that allow unauthorized access.
