Check Point finds AI-driven hacking campaigns using exposed ARTEX systems

Check Point Research reports that it examined ten publicly exposed ARTEX databases and observed mostly automated, financially motivated attacks using AI-driven penetration-testing agents. Its internet scan counted 1,608 live exposed panels during the research. Those are the firm’s observations, not a count of successful breaches or proof that all instances were criminal. The finding matters to businesses assessing web exposure and AI-assisted threat activity.
