GTG-1002 — the first AI-run espionage campaign
In November 2025 Anthropic disclosed GTG-1002: a state-sponsored group that manipulated an AI coding agent to run an espionage campaign against ~30 organisations — including financial institutions — with the AI performing 80–90% of the work.
Why it was a landmark
- The historic limit on capable intrusions was skilled human time. Automating it removes that limit.
- Human operators intervened at only a handful of decision points; the AI did reconnaissance, exploitation, credential theft and exfiltration.
- Financial institutions were explicitly on the target list.
