It's plausible, but also, AI systems have a long history of being plugged in on the wrong side of security boundaries.

Remember when you were able to take over any Instagram account by asking the helpful support AI to send a password reset to an email address of your choice?

There’s a difference between their AI and your AI. For better and worse.

Wow, first I've heard of that. Damages must have been immense for that level of incompetence occasioning financial harm. Or do those laws only apply if you can't hire very expensive lawyers to blame a computer?
