India has become the latest country to report rogue artificial intelligence agent activity, according to cybersecurity findings. Threat actors exploited autonomous AI agents by infiltrating exposed credentials and connection settings left open in application configurations, public code repositories, and overly permissive cloud roles. The incidents highlight emerging vulnerabilities in enterprise AI deployments where unmonitored agent permissions grant unauthorized system access. Security experts warn that rapid adoption of autonomous tools without strict identity and access management practices poses a significant risk to cloud infrastructure and proprietary codebases across Indian enterprise organizations.
