Microsoft has issued a warning about the security risks posed by AI agents that can operate as insider threats even without being hacked, according to reports from North Korea Times and Myanmar News.

The technology giant emphasized that AI agents, while not externally compromised, may still create vulnerabilities within organizational systems.

This insight points to a need for enhanced security measures that consider the autonomous behavior of AI agents inside networks.
