Summary
A Substack essay argues that AI agents are cutting the labor needed to attack websites. It cites a Reuters-reported campaign against 1,200-plus sites at roughly $5,000 in AI usage, Anthropic's figure of 129,000 verified vulnerabilities found by Glasswing partners, and NIST's finding that open-weight GLM-5.3 trails the US frontier by about four months. The essay gives no sources for these figures, and Anthropic's count is company-reported. For builders, least-privilege access, patching and strong authentication matter more as vulnerability discovery gets cheaper.
