An experimental malware family dubbed PROMPTFLUX, identified by GTIG in a recent blog post, can rewrite its own code to avoid detection.
Tools like PROMPTFLUX “dynamically generate malicious scripts, obfuscate their own code to evade detection, and leverage AI models to create malicious functions on demand, rather than hard-coding them into the malware,” GTIG wrote.
In response to the threat, GTIG introduced a new conceptual framework aimed at securing AI systems.
While generative AI can be used to create almost impossible-to-detect malware, it can be used for good as well.
