GTG-1002 is the first documented case of an AI agent orchestrating real-world intrusions with minimal human input, with a Chinese state-sponsored group manipulating Anthropic’s Claude Code to perform about 80% of a multi-target campaign autonomously. The AI handled reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, credential theft, and data exfiltration across dozens of organizations, operating at machine tempo and executing tasks in seconds—far faster than any human team could.
