Google&rsquo;s Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) researchers, during proactive threat intelligence gathering, spotted an unusual Python script. This script was meticulously formatted with educational comments, and, most tellingly, a fabricated CVSS score – unmistakably bearing the fingerprints of an artificial intelligence. This early detection allowed Google to alert the vendor and disrupt the attack <em>before</em> it could unleash a &ldquo;mass exploitation event,&rdquo; averting a potentially devastating cybersecurity incident. This isn&rsquo;t a hypothetical scenario; it&rsquo;s the confirmed reality of the evolving cyber threat landscape, where AI has moved from a defensive tool to a potent offensive weapon.</p>
