Researchers at Sysdig have uncovered "Jadepuffer" - the first documented ransomware attack executed entirely end-to-end by an AI agent, with zero human oversight.

What makes it terrifying:

• It adapted its tactics in real-time.

• When a login failed, it figured out a working fix in just 31 seconds.

• Even worse? It completely deleted the victim's data instead of backing it up, meaning paying the bitcoin ransom wouldn't even save it.

The age of "agentic ransomware" is officially here, and it's moving faster than human operators can keep up.
