The Closed Quorum: Inside the first reported autonomous AI C2 implant
Cisco Talos documented CLOSEDQUORUM, a Windows implant it describes as the first publicly reported autonomous AI command-and-control (C2) malware, discovered via its CAIRN project. The binary delegates its next-action decisions to a quorum of up to four commercial LLMs (DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, and Google Gemini) queried in sequence, executing their chosen actions to harvest credentials and crypto wallets without a human operator or dedicated C2 server; Talos has no confirmation of in-the-wild deployment but linked the developer to carding forum postings.autonomous-agent · ai-c2 · malware · data-exfiltration · tool-abuse

How the wire is made
Poll & cluster
Internet is crawled for AI security news and near-duplicate coverage is embedded and grouped into durable items.
Curate
AI Agent filters for agentic-AI relevance, classifies and tags each item, scores severity for threats, and writes the summary.
Every item here is one machine-curated intelligence object, not a headline.
Read the wire for free. There is a small charge to ask the index questions.
