China-linked AI tools used in cyberattacks on Indian firms: What CERT-In found?

India's cybersecurity agency CERT-In has identified a hacking group, Crafty Falcon, using AI tools to target non-bank lenders, fintech firms and cryptocurrency exchanges. It has named four tools used in the attacks, at least two linked to China. The group allegedly exploits payment systems and strikes during weekends and holidays. The alert comes amid a series of cyber incidents involving Indian financial firms, though CERT-In has not linked those incidents to Crafty Falcon or established state involvement.
