Black October: AI Agents in Our Bank Accounts and the PHP Hack

In the last 48 hours, AI attacks have gone from one-off incidents to something much bigger. Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized AI agents inside customer accounts, and they can't tell them apart from humans. At the same time, two critical bugs in PHP, the language behind an estimated 70% of websites, leaked before the patch was out, and the NSA, the FBI and Japan's prime minister told organizations to take their systems offline. Ejaaz breaks down what's happening, how the PHP flaw was found by AI and kept secret for months, the hacking group that used Claude and Grok agents against more than 400 Latin American financial targets, and why open-source models are the ones fighting back.

Then the bigger questions: who is behind it, why AI agents are so hard to trace, and the steps you can take today to protect yourself.
