Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a problem for humans. The main issue is with generative AI. Generative AI is being used extensively for both good and bad purposes. Hackers make extensive use of generative AI.

Generative AI is most commonly used for coding and programming. According to a recent report, hackers are using generative AI to write hundreds of lines of code in minutes and then installing malware on people's systems.

According to the report, hackers launched a malicious campaign aimed at French speakers. Under this campaign, hackers installed malware known as AsyncRAT on their systems, allowing them to access and record people's screens and keystrokes.

According to the report, this malware contained code written in VBScript and JavaScript programming languages ​​and was created with the help of generative AI tools. The structure of the script, comments explaining each line of code, and the selection of function names and variables in the local language are strong indications that the threat actor used generative AI to create this malware. This report has revealed how easy it is to create malware and make someone a victim with the help of generative AI.
