AI based malware can now outsmart the latest cybersecurity solutions
This is not good
AI and Cybersecurity seem to be close cousins to each other when it comes to competing as to who is more important
Everyday we hear more news of how AI is changing the world along with news of how cyberattacks are getting more and more dangerous
Or in recent times how AI and Cybersecurity are feeding into each other with “AI powered” cybersecurity products all the rage
Unfortunately this is also happening with cybercrime with attackers using the power of AI to enhance their own operations
Take the recent news of a proof of concept from HYAS labs in which they used a large language model (LLM) to create a malware that evades advanced cybersecurity technology
If you are a CISO then I do not blame you for feeling nervous about hearing about this new malware which can be undetected by state of the art cybersecurity solutions !
The attack titled “BlackMamba” uses the same LLM technology that ChatGPT uses but exploits it to create a dynamic keylogger functionality .
