Check Point says ARTEX AI agents stole over 190,000 Honor of Kings credentials and more than 300 Apple certificates.

Check Point says criminals used ARTEX, an AI penetration-testing platform, with little human input to break into sites. Agents took more than 190,000 Honor of Kings credential sets—about 3.3 percent, roughly 6,000, still worked—and more than 300 Apple code-signing certificates, three of which still validated. A gaming run against 13 servers lasted about five days and cost an estimated $180 to $360; a certificate run used DeepSeek v4.1 Flash and Kimi K3.1 Pro and about 36 billion tokens. Check Point found 2,557 ARTEX hosts, 1,608 live, 882 of them in the United States; 10 exposed full databases. One agent wrote to an S3 bucket with 714 enterprise-signed iOS app pages before owners restored the manifest, and a run against 292 crypto domains moved no money.
