The 90% Attack: Inside the First AI-Orchestrated Cyber Espionage Campaign

Anthropic revealed on November 13, 2025, that Chinese state-sponsored hackers successfully weaponized its Claude AI system to conduct the first documented AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign. The sophisticated operation, which targeted approximately 30 global organizations including technology companies, financial institutions, and government agencies, was executed with alarming efficiency, as the AI systems performed 80–90% of the campaign autonomously. This unprecedented automation signals a dangerous new era where attack speed and scale now operate at machine timescales, making the adoption of defensive AI ("AI-native security") critical for organizations that wish to counter these threats. • https://breached.company/anthropic-exposes-first-ai-orchestrated-cyber-espionage-chinese-hackers-weaponized-claude-for-automated-attacks • https://breached.company/ai-weaponized-hacker-uses-claude-to-automate-unprecedented-cybercrime-spree   Sponsor:
