How AI-Driven Ransomware Threatens Data Security

The Era of AI-Generated Ransomware Has Arrived Cybercriminals are increasingly using generative AI tools to fuel their attacks, with new research finding instances of AI being used to develop ransomware. https://lnkd.in/e8ANvvUY

AI-Powered Ransomware Has Arrived With ‘PromptLock’ Researchers raise the alarm that a new, rapidly evolving ransomware strain uses an OpenAI model to render and execute malicious code in real time, ushering in a new era of cyberattacks against enterprises. https://lnkd.in/dfd7_ym2

Everyone is adopting AI. The news is rife with stories of AI bots attacking left and right. Let's cut through the noise and get some data straight from Anthropic. Be sure to click on the link for the PDF which has a lot of great data they analyzed from threat actors relying on Claude. And yes, this is a theme for the content I talk about every week on my cybersecurity live-stream. News from the source without the hype. -joe https://lnkd.in/gWPVgq9g

Anthropic's latest threat intelligence report, blog and video round table was interesting. They suggest "Vibe Hacking" using Claude implies that using security alerts to page security personnel may be too slow now that attacks can not only be automated, but automated with adaptive AI, and that your security response needs to be on the same level. (Of course, an AI company suggesting the solution is "more AI" has some obvious bias, but still point taken): https://lnkd.in/gvtiTqkD

“Cybercriminals have already shown themselves adept at bypassing built in security and safety guardrails in models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama and Claude. Just last week, ESET researchers discovered the ‘first known AI-powered ransomware’ built using OpenAI. The NCSC and AISI said newly launched bug bounty programs from OpenAI and Anthropic could be a useful strategy for mitigating such risks, in the same way that vulnerability disclosure works to make regular software more secure.” https://lnkd.in/ewaWGvFm

Anthropic’s August threat intelligence report reveals how a minimally skilled individual used Claude to carry out 17 ransomware attacks. AI is lowering the barrier for cybercrime while making defense increasingly challenging. https://lnkd.in/gj-ecEGG

Ai powered ransomware uses generative Ai to automate, accelerate, and enhance every stage of a ransomware attack. This creates a more advanced, adaptable, low cost, and dangerous threat than traditional ransomware. #ai #ransomware #airansomware #thefuturethreatisnow #armscyber #a1sauce #promptlock https://lnkd.in/gcNKCvKF
