00:00Imagine hackers remotely changing the temperature inside a supermarket freezer.
00:04That is exactly the kind of disruption companies are now fighting as artificial intelligence transforms cybercrime.
00:11Recent attacks targeted refrigeration systems at European supermarkets,
00:15forcing retailers to deal with spoiled food and costly disruption.
00:19But the bigger warning comes from the numbers.
00:22Nearly 37,000 software and computer security vulnerabilities
00:25were reported worldwide during the third quarter of 2026.
00:30That is roughly three times the number reported a year earlier.
00:33Hackers can use AI tools to identify weaknesses and reproduce attacks, sometimes remarkably quickly.
00:40Companies are fighting back with AI-powered monitoring systems
00:43that scan for threats and help install security updates around the clock.
00:48The challenge is that attackers and defenders are increasingly using the same technology.
00:53And businesses now face a race to fix weaknesses before hackers can exploit them.
