CrowdStrike Threat Report Reveals North Korean Hackers Poisoned 131 AI Framework Packages
CrowdStrike’s 2026 Threat Hunting Report, released from Austin, Texas, finds that artificial intelligence now underpins many aspects of cyber operations. North Korean–linked hackers reportedly poisoned 131 trusted packages in the Mastra AI framework, illustrating escalating software supply chain risks. During the first half of 2026, 87% of registry threats involved malicious npm packages targeting developer environments. The report also notes China-associated actors exploiting critical vulnerabilities within 24 hours and documents a surge in AI-driven attacks, including one campaign issuing nearly 200,000 automated AI model requests in two minutes.
