Hacker Runs Hermes AI Agent Unattended for Post-Exploitation at Thai Finance Ministry
A threat actor leveraged the open-source Hermes AI agent in YOLO mode to conduct unattended post-exploitation activities within Thailand's Ministry of Finance network. The attacker gained initial access via a web shell and exploited misconfigured Hadoop services with default authentication disabled.

The operator used Chinese-language artifacts and infrastructure linked to Hong Kong, suggesting a Chinese-speaking actor, though no specific group was attributed.
