AI-powered attacks are now a commodity.
Mike Britton, CIO at Abnormal AI, joins Dave Bittner on the CyberWire Daily podcast to discuss how AI-powered attacks have evolved from simple phishing assistance into fully productized cybercrime platforms. Drawing on recent research into platforms like VENOM and EvilTokens, as well as findings from Abnormal's 2026 Attack Landscape Report, Mike explains why sophisticated attacks are becoming accessible to virtually anyone with a subscription fee and what security leaders must do to adapt their threat models to this new reality.
Why AI Agents Are Challenging Traditional Security Models
Sanjay Jeyakumar, Co-Founder and CTO at Abnormal AI, joins Dave Bittner on the CyberWire Daily podcast for a sponsored Industry Voices conversation about why AI agents are challenging traditional security models. Using a recent OpenAI and Hugging Face incident as an example, Sanjay explains how agents can combine legitimate permissions, stale credentials, and over-privileged identities in unexpected ways. He discusses why securing agentic AI requires organizations to look beyond known threats and focus on whether identities are behaving as expected.
AI has changed the shape of enterprise risk, and attackers know it.
Attacks now move at machine speed, with unprecedented scale and sophistication. Every new AI tool, agent, and integration creates an identity nobody's tracking, and in most organizations no one can say who owns it or what it's allowed to do. To fight bad AI, you need behavioral AI. Find out what your cybersecurity stack is missing.

The phishing kit that thinks like a human.
Piotr Wojtyla, Head of Threat Intel and Platform at Abnormal AI, is discussing their work on "InboxPrime AI: New Phishing Kit Fueling Scalable, AI-Powered Cybercrime." A new AI-powered phishing kit called InboxPrime AI is rapidly gaining traction in underground forums, automating the creation and delivery of highly believable phishing emails that mimic legitimate business communications and leverage Gmail’s web interface to evade detection.
