AgentBaiting: How Fake AI Skills Deliver Malware at Scale
Island security researchers uncovered the FakeGit campaign, which used roughly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories—over 800 posing as AI Skills or MCP servers—to deliver SmartLoader malware that installs the StealC information stealer. The campaign introduces a technique called AgentBaiting, in which AI agents such as Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT autonomously discover the attacker repositories, treat the malicious README as legitimate documentation, and pass installation instructions to users; the operation recorded over 14 million downloads.supply-chain · tool-abuse · malware-delivery · agentbaiting

Autonomous AI Agents for Penetration Testing: A Complete Guide
A guide from Astra Security explains how autonomous AI agents are being used for penetration testing, describing agentic systems that reason, chain exploits, and validate impact end-to-end, and surveying vendors such as Astra, XBOW, Horizon3.ai, Pentera, and Aikido. It references academic systems including PentestGPT and the ARTEMIS multi-agent framework, which in a live ~8,000-host university network study placed second overall, out-performing 9 of 10 human testers while showing higher false-positive rates.
