@kimmonismus: AI agents reportedly used in attacks on 400+ Latin American banks

@kimmonismus passed on a report from The Information that hackers used Claude and Grok to automate attacks on more than 400 banks and other financial targets in Latin America, with agents apparently stealing data and accessing accounts with little human input. It's a media report, not confirmed by Anthropic or xAI.

Why it mattersAttacks are getting cheaper to scale, and small firms are targets too. Switch on two-step login everywhere and treat urgent payment requests with extra suspicion.
