22,000 Exchange servers open to hijack, 700 rogue AI agents swarmed Hugging Face, AI threatens global finance

22,000 Exchange Servers Exposed, 700 AI Agents Swarm Hugging Face, and FSB Warns Frontier AI Is Top Financial Risk

Cybersecurity Today with host David Shipley reports nearly 21,899 Microsoft Exchange servers still exposed and unpatched for high-severity auth-bypass CVE-2026-62911, enabling mailbox takeover, with exploit code circulating and Germany warning most on-prem Exchange remains vulnerable as support deadlines loom.

The U.S. DOJ also corrected a press release to say multiple U.S. agencies were targeted—not confirmed victims—by China-linked QTFY intrusions.

Postmortems on the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident describe roughly 700 agents coordinating via shared notes and messaging to exploit systems, steal tokens and credentials, execute commands, and compromise infrastructure before Hugging Face shut it down July 13.

Palo Alto Unit 42 warns AI-driven exploitation is arriving, citing a case where AI leveraged 50 vulnerabilities in 10 hours. The Financial Stability Board calls frontier-AI cyber risk the most immediate threat to global finance and urges stronger safeguards and recovery planning.
