Attackers are using legitimate AI coding assistants to execute malicious commands on compromised endpoints. In two confirmed intrusions, Elastic Threat Command observed adversaries operating cyber attacks through Claude Code on Windows and the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS. Both involved trusted applications being used to carry out malicious activity. The findings highlight a detection challenge: These applications are signed and authorized to execute commands, making it difficult to distinguish legitimate activity from attacker behavior. The speed of these attacks is another concern. Elastic researchers observed an average of just eight minutes between ClickFix/infostealer infection and attackers logging in with stolen credentials. In the latest threats, etc quarterly report, Elastic Threat Command documents these intrusions and examines the implications for endpoint visibility, behavioral detection, and threat hunting.

14% of security practitioners in our State of AI in Security Operations 2026 survey have turned off a detection rule because they lacked the capacity to investigate what it produced. Another 26% said they could see themselves doing that. So in roughly two of every five programs, team bandwidth is making, or at least shaping, coverage decisions. Detection rules and techniques go dark, the queue gets quieter, and the risk register never records the change. 👉🏽 Our Definitive Guide to Detection Engineering covers how to keep capacity from becoming your de facto risk appetite.
