A hacker broke into John Deere and SharkNinja with an army of AI agents
This is the first documented large-scale breach using agent-based reconnaissance. The attacker automated vulnerability scanning and lateral movement instead of manual hacking. For builders shipping agents, this means you need to assume your agents can be weaponized in ways a single human attacker can't match. For security teams, it's a signal that traditional defenses built for human pace are now underspecified. This belongs in your threat model.
