The "Villager"
Story: A new AI-native penetration testing framework called "Villager" has been released by a Chinese group named Cyberspike, automating hacking workflows and lowering the barrier for attackers. The tool, available on PyPI, has already been downloaded over 10,000 times.
Why we care: This represents a significant escalation in the weaponization of AI for offensive cyber operations. The ease of access and automation capabilities of Villager could lead to a surge in more
sophisticated attacks, even from less-skilled actors, mirroring the trajectory of tools like Cobalt Strike.

Engagement Question: How should organizations adapt their security strategies to counter automated, AI-driven attack tools like Villager?
