Google's Threat Intelligence Group detected and disrupted what appears to be the first weaponized zero-day vulnerability created by AI tools, preventing a coordinated attack at scale. The emergence of OpenClaw and similar exploit-finding tools means attackers now have automated systems for discovering vulnerabilities, compressing the timeline between flaw existence and deployment from months to days. Security teams now operate under continuous emergency conditions, with patch cycles that no longer function on traditional schedules.
