Adversa AI, a pioneer in AI Red Teaming and Agentic AI Security, has just dropped a bombshell report: “Top AI Security Incidents – 2025 Edition.” It’s a forensic, front-line look at how AI systems—from helpful chatbots to autonomous AI agents—are already causing chaos in the wild.
Forget academic theory. This is AI cybercrime, right now where AI systems are being exploited faster than they’re being understood. From Chatbots leaking personal data, Agents triggering unauthorized crypto transfers to Cross-tenant data leaks in enterprise AI stacks and MCP Issues.

The report is a wake-up call: AI is the new attack surface. And it’s wide open. “The most dangerous cyberweapon in 2025? Your words.”
Key Findings That Demand Attention:
Prompt Injection Is the New Zero-Day
35% of all real-world AI security incidents were caused by simple prompts. Some led to $100K+ in real losses without writing a single line of code.
Agentic AI = Maximum Damage
GenAI was in 70% of incidents, but Agentic AI caused the most dangerous failures—crypto thefts, API abuses, and legal disasters, and Supply chain attacks.
AI Security Incidents Have Doubled Since 2024
2025 is set to surpass all prior years combined in breach volume.
Failures Happen At ALL Layers
Most breaches stemmed from improper validation, infrastructure gaps, and missing human oversight. Systems like Amazon Q, Microsoft Azure, OmniGPT, and ElizaOS failed across multiple layers

What’s Inside the Report:
- See the Breach to Believe It: From industry heatmaps to architectural breakdowns, the report uses vivid visualizations to expose where AI systems are failing — by time, type, sector, and severity.
- Follow the Data Across Layers: Timelines, exploit complexity matrices, and stack-wide failure maps reveal how attacks evolve — and why security can’t stop at the model.
- 17 real-world case studies, from Amazon Q to Asana AI
- Detailed breakdowns of how each attack worked
- Actionable guidance for CISOs, engineers on how it could be prevented
