Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, often heralded for their productivity benefits, now threaten cybersecurity as criminals harness them to create sophisticated malware.
HP Wolf Security researchers have uncovered one of the first known instances where attackers used generative AI to write malicious code for distributing a remote access Trojan. This trend marks a shift in cybersecurity, democratizing the ability to create complex malware and potentially leading to a surge in cybercrime.
