AI-Assisted Zero-Day 2FA Bypass Now in the Wild

Google confirmed the first known AI-generated zero-day exploit that fully bypasses 2FA on an open-source admin tool — no human wrote the attack logic. Any SaaS product you ship under Independence Engine will have auth, and this is the baseline threat model now. Design with passkeys and hardware-backed verification from day one; TOTP is no longer safe as a sole second factor. This is architecture-level, not a patch — get it right before you have customers, not after.

This came up on my daily radar, pain in the @$$ but the security vector is constantly in my mind.
