Reuters reports that Russian-speaking hackers from the Aur0ra ransomware gang used Cursor’s AI coding agent, built on Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5, to break into at least seven companies by falsely claiming the intrusions were authorized security tests. Gambit Security and CloudSek found the trick boosted the hackers’ speed by 30 to 50 percent, just as SpaceX prepares to close its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor’s parent company, Anysphere.
