Hacker With Limited Skills Used DeepSeek AI to Breach Indian University and Steal Over 5,200 Records
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
A low-skilled hacker using the handle BUGSTER combined DeepSeek AI with other tools to breach two Indian universities, stealing a MongoDB database of over 5,200 student and staff records. The attacker exploited weak passwords and exposed services rather than software flaws. Additional activity included credential scanning, Wi-Fi cracking, cryptocurrency research, and VoIP fraud planning, though no evidence confirmed the latter schemes were executed, per Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42.
