Something’s off.DIVD, a Dutch nonprofit that finds vulnerable Internet systems and notifies owners, says it was breached. It describes an undisclosed technical vulnerability followed by post-intrusion activity using an automated AI agent.
According to DIVD, the agent chose its next steps autonomously, but did so in a conspicuous, error-prone way. The organization says the agent used password spraying that interfered with its own adversary-in-the-middle attack, while also leaving extensive comments about its decisions.
That reported mismatch is what makes the incident unusual: automation that was apparently intended to advance an intrusion may instead have made the operation easier to reconstruct. DIVD says the attacker’s purpose and the incident’s impact remain unclear, and it is still investigating.
