The silent threat: LLM-powered malware
Malware, short for malicious software, is a type of software designed to cause damage or unauthorized access to a computer system. Cyber attackers commonly use malware to hijack data or disrupt functions of the infected system.
Malware includes various forms, such as viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and spyware. Multiple malware detection techniques now emerge, including signature-based detection and dynamic analysis. They plays an essential role in asset protection, threat intelligence, and system integrity in the context of AI.
A new and insidious threat has emerged in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape: LLMs weaponized for malicious purposes.
These powerful AI tools once heralded for their ability to generate human-like text, are now being exploited by cybercriminals to create highly sophisticated and evasive malware.
