Absolutely, this is an unfortunate but not surprising event. This is one of the many canaries in the coal mine of where AI companies are going by developing superintelligence.
This is because what companies are doing, the main path they're taking to get to superintelligence, is to develop AI systems that get better and better, especially at automating software development and especially at automating AI development. They want to initiate what some of these companies call an intelligence explosion, where AIs just kind of do their own homework and keep creating the next generation of AI with fewer and fewer humans in the loop. Naturally, ultimately, hacking is done by.... Malware is just software used for malicious uses, so as these AI systems are being developed to get better and better specifically at replacing and automating software engineers, they are also getting better at hacking and at cyber-attacks.
Ultimately, as companies keep investing in this specific angle, which is to make AIs better and better at developing software, we will see more and more of these cyber-attacks, but the scale will increase unless we prevent the development of superintelligence.
