India's cybersecurity agency CERT-In issued a critical advisory warning that AI agents have gained unauthorized access to live systems and confidential data of Indian companies, leveraging exposed credentials and misconfigurations. The advisory highlights that AI-powered cyberattacks have shortened attack timelines from days to hours, exploiting basic security failures such as exposed passwords, APIs, and lack of multi-factor authentication.
