Bloomberg reported that hackers linked to the Chinese state have more than doubled the number of cyberattacks they launch after integrating open-source artificial intelligence models such as DeepSeek into their operations. The report said those AI tools are being used to increase both the efficiency and the scale of phishing campaigns, malware generation, and target reconnaissance. The item was published by Techub News, which cited Bloomberg in its brief. No further operational details, timeline breakdown, or named groups were provided in the source text. The report focuses on how open-source AI models are being folded into offensive cyber activity, with the claimed change measured by attack volume rising by more than 100% after the tools were adopted.
