CrowdStrike’ s 2025 Threat Hunting Report reveals how threat actors are targeting tools used to build AI agents, gaining access, stealing credentials and deploying malware.

Based on frontline intelligence from CrowdStrike’ s elite threat hunters and intelligence analysts tracking more than 265 named adversaries, the report reveals:

• Adversaries weaponise AI at scale: DPRK-nexus adversary FAMOUS CHOLLIMA used GenAI to automate every phase of its insider attack programme, from building fake resumes and conducting deepfake interviews to completing technical tasks under false identities

• Agentic AI Is the new attack surface: CrowdStrike observed multiple threat actors exploiting vulnerabilities in tools used to build AI agents, gaining unauthenticated access, establishing persistence, harvesting credentials, and deploying malware and ransomware.

• GenAI-built malware becomes reality: Lower-tier eCrime and hacktivist actors are abusing AI to generate scripts, solve technical problems and build malware – automating tasks that once required advanced expertise.

“ We’ re seeing threat actors use GenAI to scale social engineering, accelerate operations and lower the barrier to entry for hands-onkeyboard intrusions,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike.“ Adversaries are targeting the very AI systems organisations are deploying. Every AI agent is a superhuman identity: autonomous, fast and deeply integrated, making them highvalue targets. Adversaries are treating these agents like infrastructure, attacking them the same way they target SaaS platforms, cloud consoles and privileged accounts. Securing the AI that powers business is where the cyber battleground is evolving.”
