Update: Censys finds 1,465 ARTEX consoles exposed on the internet (~815 distinct deployments)

Silas Cutler (Censys, 05/11/2026) reports 1,465 hosts with an exposed ARTEX console (measurement ~03–04/11); ~650 in two identical hosting blocks, leaving ~815 distinct deployments. ARTEX is an open-source LLM autonomous pentest framework (GitHub Autumn-27/ARTEX, Jul/2026; later closed). 155 hosts (10.6%) have another Censys threat (Vshell, Cobalt Strike, Adaptix C2 etc.). The post ties this to use attributed by CrowdStrike (Korean finance) and Microsoft (Storm-0940/ConnectWise). New fact vs the VAPOR PANDA story of the 01/11 edition: the scale of public console exposure.
