FBI WARNS AI-POWERED HACKING TOOL IS AUTOMATING CYBERATTACKS AT MACHINE SPEED
The FBI has issued an alert about ARTEX, an open-source AI agent framework being weaponized by hackers to automate cyberattacks, from reconnaissance to data theft.
According to the FBI:
• Some attacks have reached privileged access in under 3 hours.
• South Korean financial institutions were targeted, exposing personal data belonging to approximately 67,000 people.
• A supply-chain breach affected more than 2,250 ConnectWise customer environments.
• Over 1,600 publicly exposed ARTEX consoles were identified as of early November.
The FBI warns the technology allows even relatively inexperienced hackers to launch sophisticated attacks against multiple targets simultaneously.
Threat actors are weaponizing ARTEX, an open-source, large language model (LLM)-driven agentic platform to automate multiple phases of cyber intrusions at machine speed. Since at least August 2026, a variety of malicious cyber actors have used ARTEX to conduct campaigns targeting organizations globally across multiple sectors, including financial services, government, and technology.
ARTEX significantly reduces the time required to chain attack techniques and enables threat actors with minimal technical expertise to conduct complex, multi-target operations simultaneously.
Today, the FBI released a FLASH highlighting the tactics, techniques, and procedures and indicators of compromise associated with the ARTEX framework. Organizations should follow the mitigation steps outlined in the FLASH to improve their security posture in response to ARTEX and similar agentic SI frameworks: ic3.gov/CSA/2026/261113.pdf

Native post-quantum accounts went live, millions of PQ transactions followed, and real-world use cases like HesabPay kept growing.
A lot happened on Algorand in Q3.

Vestige will shut down on December 31st 2026.
Due to economic reasons everything will go offline: the vestige.fi frontend, the API, the swap aggregator and all related services.
Details below 🧵
On June 22 2026 President Trump signed Executive Orders that mandate federal PQC migration by 2030 – 2031, while Algorand has already shipped Falcon based post-quantum accounts and State Proofs on mainnet, targeting full resilience by 2027 #Crypto #AI #Cyberattack $Algo

🚨 Only 2 chains in CMC's Top 100 have native, protocol-level PQ signing live on mainnet.
Imagine sleeping on Algorand while it's already leading the way in post-quantum resilience!
$ALGO leads by far, with 1.7M+ PQ-signed transactions on-chain! 🔥
Kudos to @NEARProtocol too!

Quantum resilience is more than adopting post-quantum cryptography today; it means being able to adapt as cryptographic standards evolve.
Our CPO, @wj_beaumont, explains how we're building crypto agility into Algorand's protocol to make that possible 👇
