Huntress finds rapid cloud privilege changes but qualifies AI attribution

Huntress observed fast credential and privilege changes in the ConnectWise Cloud Backup incident. Its telemetry fits Microsoft's Storm-0940 and ARTEX account, but cannot independently identify the operator or model. Scripted loops continued after a target vanished, limiting claims of fully autonomous control.
