Large Language Models Can Execute Complete Ransomware Attacks Autonomously, NYU Tandon Research Shows
Criminals can use artificial intelligence, specifically large language models, to autonomously carry out ransomware attacks that steal personal files and demand payment, handling every step from breaking into computer systems to writing threatening messages to victims, according to new research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
They discover the first ransomware created with artificial intelligence San Jose, 04 Sep (elmundo.cr)-The ESET research team, a leading company in proactive threat detection, has identified a malware, which they have called PromptLock, which has the ability to filter, encrypt and possibly even destroy data. This discovery has been considered “the first ransomware powered by AI.” AI models have turned the creation of convincing phishing messages …
NYU Scientists Develop, ESET Detects First AI-Powered Ransomware
Scientists at NYU developed a ransomware prototype that uses LLMs to autonomously to plan, adapt, and execute ransomware attacks. ESET researchers, not knowing about the NYU project, apparently detected the ransomware, saying it appeared to be a proof-of-concept and a harbinger of what's to come. The post NYU Scientists Develop, ESET Detects First AI-Powered Ransomware appeared first on Security Boulevard.
