What happened

Microsoft says cyberattackers are currently benefiting from artificial intelligence faster than defenders, allowing threat actors (the person or group behind an attack) to speed up vulnerability discovery, malware (software written to damage a system or steal from it) development, and post-compromise activity while security teams struggle to keep pace. Microsoft is a software development and software company based in Redmond, founded in 1975.
