Summary
According to a post on X by @securityblvd, CrowdStrike says a China-linked group it calls VAPOR PANDA used DeepSeek and an attack framework in an 11-day campaign. The campaign targeted more than 200 organizations in at least 14 countries and reached nine of them, including government, pharma and chipmaking targets. Specialized agents reportedly shared information and attacked in parallel, and one intrusion processed about 1.4 billion tokens. The post presents this as a concrete sign that AI-driven attacks are now running at scale.

Why it matters
Security teams in government, pharmaceutical and chipmaking sectors face a clear example of AI agents being used to run intrusion campaigns at once. The reported focus on parallel, multi-agent activity suggests defenders may need to plan for coordinated attacks rather than single tools. The snippet does not include technical details, so further information from CrowdStrike will be needed to judge the specifics.
