Why AI Agents Explore Web Interfaces
For years, software automation depended on APIs: structured gateways that let one system communicate with another. APIs are fast, predictable, and reliable—but they are not always available. Many digital tasks still require a person to open a website, navigate menus, interpret information,…
When Will AI Agents Become the Majority of Web Traffic?
The transition has already begun—but measuring it requires us to distinguish ordinary bots from agents that act on behalf of people.
Open-Source AI Is Catching the Frontier—But the Race Has Changed
Open models are no longer merely cheaper alternatives. They are becoming credible foundations for serious AI systems, even as proprietary frontier models retain important advantages.
Which Open-Source AI Model Should You Actually Use in 2026?
The leading open models are no longer separated into “good” and “bad.” They are differentiated by what they are designed to do.
Which Open-Source AI Models Are Cybercriminals Most Likely to Use?
The most capable model is not always the most attractive one. Cybercriminal adoption is shaped by convenience, cost, privacy, hardware requirements, and access to automation tools.
Which AI Models Will Fraudsters Use?
Fraudsters will not choose models the way AI researchers do. They will optimize for convenience, scale, anonymity, language coverage, and the ability to create believable identities.
Will Fraudsters Use AI Agents Against Web Applications?
Almost certainly. The important change will not be smarter phishing copy—it will be software that can navigate applications, interpret responses, and adapt fraud workflows in real time.
Will Cybercriminals Use Mythos-Class Models Against Black-Box Web Applications?
Yes. Source-code access makes vulnerability research easier, but it is not required. A sufficiently capable agent can learn a great deal from the behavior an application exposes over the internet.
Blinded by the Agent: How AI Agents Are Disrupting Fraud Detection

From ordering groceries to transferring funds, these agents promise convenience by navigating the same websites and apps humans do. But as with any disruptive technology, there’s a flip side. The rise of AI agents is dismantling the very foundation of […]
