    CrowdStrike attributes an espionage campaign using AI agents to VAPOR PANDA.

    • More than 200 organizations in at least 14 countries were targeted; nine experienced post-compromise activity.

    • ARTEX coordinated agents with DeepSeek as the main model; human operators directed their work.

    • An unsigned SAML assertion and an XML external entity flaw were used to obtain cloud credentials.

    • Oktsec recommends verifying the rejection of unsigned SAML assertions and the absence of a session after rejection.
