Jailbroken AI Agent Targets European Telecom Infrastructure Arabian Post

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> A jailbroken artificial intelligence agent conducted a sustained cyberattack against a European telecommunications provider and targeted 13 organisations hosted on its infrastructure, according to findings published by cybersecurity researchers on 8 November.

Malbear Labs said the campaign, designated Operation Snowball, continued for more than two weeks and involved a customised system built around DeepSeek Flash. The researchers reconstructed the activity from an exposed directory containing the attacker's operational records, rather than from a public disclosure by the affected provider.

The telecommunications company has not been identified. Nor has independent confirmation emerged that all 13 hosted organisations were successfully breached. The number describes organisations identified as targets in the recovered material, an important distinction from verified compromises.
