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

The Replicant in Your Directory: AI Agents and the Identity Security Gap
A sponsored analysis piece by Netwrix CEO Grady Summers argues that AI agents, service accounts, OAuth apps, and other non-human identities now vastly outnumber human users and fall outside identity governance built for people. It cites the 2025 UNC6395 campaign, in which an OAuth token tied to Salesloft's Drift integration was abused to pivot across hundreds of Salesforce environments and reach AWS/Snowflake credentials, as an example of how a single trusted machine identity can cascade—an issue AI agents accelerate by creating and inheriting identities at machine speed.

Agentic AI Has an Identity Problem and Attackers Know It
A vendor (Token Security) commentary arguing that AI agents act as privileged identities accessing data and triggering workflows across enterprise systems, and that governing these non-human identities is becoming essential. The piece frames identity governance as an emerging security gap attackers can exploit. Details →First reported adversa.ai
