AI Agents Open Door to New Cybersecurity Risks as Hacking Threats Rise

AI agents now do tasks for people, they read pages, fill forms, buy tickets, and schedule events. This power is useful, yet it also creates more paths into systems.

That command may move money, export data, or change settings without proper checks.
