The First Artificial Intelligence-Powered Ransomware

The First Ransomware Supported by Artificial Intelligence: PromptLock and Cyber
New Era of Security

The First Ransomware Working with Artificial Intelligence Has Been Detected!

The danger that cyber security experts have been warning about for a long time has become reality. ESET Researchers have developed the first ransomware using artificial intelligence (AI), called PromptLock.ransomware) was revealed.Based on OpenAI’s vulnerability-heavy large language model, this malware attacks Windows, It can run on macOS and Linux systems. PromptLock only locks files does not remain; It can export or completely destroy data when necessary.

AI-Powered Ransomware

Unlike classical ransomware, PromptLock is artificial intelligence-supported ransomware. stands out. Its ability to generate different commands at each run makes it easy for security software to detect it. It makes it almost impossible to do it. Artificial intelligence works locally on the device, allowing these attacks to be monitored externally. and creates new challenges for ransomware protection.

What Will AI-Powered Ransomware Bring?

This development brings new risks in the world of cyber security:

• Hard-to-detect attacks: AI-generated dynamic commands, signature-based It reduces the effectiveness of antiviruses.
