## In brief

- Arctic Wolf Labs reported attackers abusing AntiFox, an open-source, Chinese-language agentic penetration testing platform.
- Attackers used AntiFox to target IIS servers and AWS accounts.
- The framework chains attack steps together, according to the research.

## Why it matters

Pentest frameworks that automate multi-step attacks lower the effort needed to compromise IIS servers and steal AWS credentials, so teams running these services face a higher risk.
