CrowdStrike Uncovers New Agentic AI Campaigns
CrowdStrike, Wednesday, October 21st, 2026
CrowdStrike research details four previously unreported threat actors running agentic AI attack campaigns.
CrowdStrike says a new report from its Counter Adversary Operations team details four previously unreported threat actors who left their offensive agent frameworks exposed in open directories.
The findings give detailed insight into how adversaries use AI agents and show attackers quickly becoming more proficient with AI.
Between May and August 2026, CrowdStrike Intelligence documented incidents in which AI agents made decisions and executed commands, including a Spanish- and English-speaking operator that used an autonomous pentesting harness against at least 15 Argentine healthcare organizations.
