Two distinct multi-stage network intrusion campaigns are actively targeting Latin American organizations, with attackers leveraging artificial intelligence tools to enhance their capabilities. The Mexican transportation campaign (CL-CRI-1131) impacted transportation organizations and government entities in Mexico and Ecuador, utilizing living-off-the-land techniques and self-hosted NextChat instances. The Brazilian financial campaign (CL-CRI-1163) employed custom RATs and tunneling tools including a Go-based SOCKS5 proxy. Both operations demonstrate technical overlaps including shared SOCKS5 infrastructure and reliance on commercial large language models like Claude and GPT-4.1 for operational orchestration. Attackers used AI to generate scripts and troubleshoot execution failures, evidenced by iterative file naming patterns and exposed NextChat interfaces. However, fundamental operational security failures, including exposed staging directories and unsecured interfaces, provided defenders clear visibility...

Two distinct threat campaigns, SHADOW-AETHER-040 and SHADOW-AETHER-064, have been identified targeting government entities and financial organizations across Latin America using agentic artificial intelligence to conduct cyber intrusions. SHADOW-AETHER-040, a Spanish-speaking group, compromised six government entities in Mexico between December 2025 and January 2026, while SHADOW-AETHER-064, operating in Portuguese, targeted Brazilian financial institutions starting in April 2026. Both campaigns established SOCKS5 tunnels via ProxyChains and SSH, enabling AI agents to execute commands directly within victim networks. The AI agents dynamically generated hacking tools and scripts on-demand, reducing detection by signature-based security solutions. Despite tactical similarities including shared toolsets like Chisel, Neo-reGeorg, CrackMapExec, and Impacket, the campaigns appear to be separate entities distinguished primarily by language. These operations represent emerging cases of AI agents executing complete... Join the discussion | AlienVault OTX General | 05/12/2026, 08:51:35 UTC Added: 05/12/2026, 09:21:23 UTC |
