For the first time in 19 years, exploiting vulnerabilities has become the primary entry point for data breaches, surpassing stolen login credentials.

I think this has something to do with AI coding

There isn't enough AI code out there (yet) to cause this. IMO what's really happening is that AI Code Review is finding vulnerabilities and creating ways to exploit them way faster than they can be patched by Human Dev teams. An easy example of this is the Linux exploits like Dirty Frag that came out last week and the week before.

It's going to get worse before it gets better.
