Ask HN: Speculate About a Hypothetical Cyber Exploit That Would Leverage AI

2•burnerToBetOut•1h ago
It seems kinda inevitable. Some modern-day equivalent of the latter-day Kevin Mitnick is bound to be out there somewhere. Wouldn't you think?

I was trying to imagine…

• What sort of AI-related exploit is more likely to be one of the first?

• What might be the nature of a cyberattack the black hat vibe coders might be vibing up for us?

Of course, I hope I'm wrong. I hope that all the MCP servers or whatever and the other AI network infrastructure is as secure as we're told they are.

AI just makes using existing script kiddie stuff easier.
