What happened
Palo Alto Networks, one of the world's top cybersecurity companies, is warning that we have just three to five months before new AI systems make it routine for hackers to find and exploit hidden weaknesses in computer systems — the kind of attack that used to require expert human hackers working for weeks.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
This isn't about AI writing spam emails. This is about AI being able to scan for security holes in hospitals, banks, power grids, and government systems at a speed and scale no human team could match. If companies, governments, and institutions don't urgently upgrade their defenses in this window, the cost could be enormous — and the attacks could hit ordinary people hardest.
Takeaway
We have a few months to lock the doors before the AI-powered lockpicks are widely available. The clock is already running.
