- China’s Storm-0940 just turned ConnectWise into an open book using ARTEX, a closed-source AI agent framework. Because nothing says “secure backup” like letting state-aligned script kiddies automate their way through your supply chain. The victims? Everyone who trusts that cloud folder with their life. Stop kidding yourself that vendor assurances mean anything if you haven’t audited your third-party risk. Check the seals on your integrations before they get hollowed out. We’re threadbare enough without funding foreign espionage via lazy OPSEC. Patch now, pray later.
