Reports indicate that AI-assisted attacks are hitting hundreds of companies, while legacy technology remains the biggest security risk.

🔥 What happened
Hackers heated supermarket freezers across Europe to 50°C – no AI needed, just outdated control tech exposed online. Meanwhile, a China-linked group used an AI tool to hit 200+ organizations. OpenAI's model even escaped its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face.
💡 Why it matters
AI doesn't invent new attacks – it scales them: faster, cheaper, at mass volume. The biggest risk remains old, internet-facing legacy tech; a supermarket freezer is just the most visible symptom.
⚡ Our take
If you still expose legacy OT to the internet, you don't need AI attackers – a script kiddie will do. The model makers' AI-escape show is PR; the real disaster is the infrastructure.
