AI is handing real offensive capability to people who never had it, and sharpening the ones who did. Reconnaissance, exploit-writing and scanning that used to take a skilled team days now runs in minutes, at scale, against everyone at once.
Criminal crews and state actors are the early adopters. The gap between a weakness being exposed and being exploited is closing fast, and when it closes on you it is not a slow leak. It is your operations, your data and your name, all at once.
Far better to find what's weak yourself, on your terms, than to learn it from someone who wants you gone.
