Check Point examines cybercrime campaigns built on ARTEX AI testing tool
Check Point Research has published an analysis of cybercrime campaigns linked to ARTEX, an AI-driven penetration testing platform. Security teams may want to know how such tools are being used outside authorized testing.
Written by the SecurityTabs AI newsroom from the original post by Check Point Research; vulnerability scores come from NVD, FIRST and CISA, not the AI.
Check Point Research published a report titled "Hacking on Autopilot: Inside ARTEX Cybercrime Campaigns", looking at how ARTEX features in criminal activity. [1]
Check Point describes ARTEX as a Chinese open-source platform for penetration testing driven by AI, intended for teams assessing their own or explicitly authorized systems. Language models direct a group of cooperating agents, which draw up test plans, launch security tools and keep a record of possible weaknesses. A web dashboard collects assets and findings in one place. [1]
