Four Models, One Vote: Inside the First Malware That Asks AI What to Do Next, September 23, 2026 Cisco Talos has disclosed CLOSEDQUORUM, which it describes as the first reported autonomous AI command and control implant: a Windows prototype that polls four commercial language model providers and executes whichever next move wins a plurality vote. Chris and Laura dig into why outsourcing an attack's decision making to somebody else's product breaks the oldest assumption in network defense, why Talos calls the sample early, limited and fragile, and what CAIRN, the open source hunting framework released alongside it, is looking for. Hosted by Chris and Laura.
