Agentic AI Raises Autonomous Cyberattack Risks

Security experts warn that agentic AI systems are evolving from experimental tools into practical autonomous agents that attackers could weaponize. Citing TechRadar and arXiv research, analysts say LLM-based agents can plan, persist, use external tools, and adapt over days or weeks, enabling reconnaissance, tailored phishing, automated exploit development, and large-scale fraud—pressuring defenders to adopt new detection, governance, and access-control strategies.
