Google Threat Intelligence Report Highlights Growing Adversarial Exploitation of AI

Google’s Threat Intelligence Group released a new report detailing how adversarial AI is increasingly weaponized against enterprises. The study highlights a surge in model‑extraction attacks, where threat actors query commercial LLMs like Gemini to create compact replicas, and documents AI‑enhanced malware such as HONESTCUE that generates code on‑the‑fly. State‑linked actors from North Korea, Iran, China and Russia are also leveraging generative tools for sophisticated phishing and OSINT operations. Google responded by disabling offending accounts, tightening its Secure AI Framework, and sharing indicators with the security community.
