Attackers are using AI to build exploits for industrial control systems, U.S. agencies warn

The NSA, CISA, and FBI have warned that attackers are using artificial intelligence to generate exploit scripts for Siemens S7 controllers. This development lowers the technical barrier for compromising industrial control systems used in critical U.S. infrastructure. By automating the creation of these scripts, malicious actors can more easily target sensitive sectors such as energy, water, and manufacturing. Federal agencies consider these AI-driven tactics an active threat to national security.
