# AI Hack Watch

> A public, community-maintained timeline of incidents where AI materially participated in hacking, cyber operations, exploitation, or security research.

The dataset covers 68 incidents from 2023-01-06 to 2026-10-23. Each record carries the date of first public disclosure, the latest revision date when one exists, one or more sources with original and archived URLs, an AI role, a category, and a short factual summary. Follow-up reporting is folded into the existing record, so `updated` holds the revision date while `date` stays the first disclosure.

`data.md` is the canonical hand-edited source. `incidents.json`, `feed.xml`, and this file are generated from it, so do not edit them by hand. `METHODOLOGY.md` explains what qualifies and how the roles and categories are defined.
