The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned that cybercriminals are exploiting an artificial intelligence-powered platform known as ARTEX to automate multiple stages of cyberattacks against organisations worldwide.
The FBI Cyber Branch raised the alarm in a post on its official X account, revealing that malicious cyber actors had been using the open–driven platform since at least August 2026
According to the agency, the campaigns have targeted organisations across several sectors, including financial services, government and technology.
The FBI said ARTEX significantly reduces the time required to combine different attack techniques, allowing cybercriminals with limited technical expertise to execute complex operations against multiple targets simultaneously.
“ARTEX significantly reduces the time required to chain attack techniques and enables threat actors with minimal technical expertise to conduct complex, multi-target operations simultaneously,” the agency stated.
It added that the platform enables threat actors to automate several phases of cyber intrusions at machine speed, potentially increasing the scale and efficiency of their attacks.

The FBI disclosed that it had released a FLASH alert detailing the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), as well as indicators of compromise (IOCs), associated with the ARTEX framework.
“Today, the FBI released a FLASH highlighting the tactics, techniques, and procedures and indicators of compromise associated with the ARTEX framework,” the agency said.
It urged organisations to implement the mitigation measures outlined in the advisory to strengthen their cybersecurity defences against ARTEX and similar agentic systems.
“Organizations should follow the mitigation steps outlined in the FLASH to improve their security posture in response to ARTEX and similar agentic SI frameworks.”
