Sysdig Reports First Fully Autonomous 'Agentic' Ransomware, Now Targeting AI Model Data

Security researchers at Sysdig say a threat actor they call JADEPUFFER has carried out what they describe as the first fully autonomous ransomware campaign driven by a large language model agent, and has since evolved to specifically hunt and encrypt AI and machine-learning assets. The findings mark an unsettling shift in which the same technology powering modern software development is now being turned into a self-directing attacker.
