Ask HN: Speculate About a Hypothetical Cyber Exploit That Would Leverage AI

burnerToBetOut Monday, January 12, 2026

It seems kinda inevitable. Some modern-day equivalent of the latter-day Kevin Mitnick is bound to be out there somewhere. Wouldn't you think?

I was trying to imagine…

• What sort of AI-related exploit is more likely to be one of the first?

• What might be the nature of a cyberattack the black hat vibe coders might be vibing up for us?

Of course, I hope I'm wrong. I hope that all the MCP servers or whatever and the other AI network infrastructure is as secure as we're told they are.
