AI Enhanced Mutating Malware

 It's not surprising that threat actors are early technology adopters. In this case, AI enhanced malware permits what appears to be on-the-fly code mutation.

Excerpt from Cybersecurity Dive: 

"Five newly discovered malware families — FRUITSHELL, PROMPTFLUX, PROMPTSTEAL, PROMPTLOCK and QUIETVAULT — exhibit novel AI-powered capabilities, Google reported, including the ability to hide their code from security software, create attack capabilities on demand and dynamically generate scripts. 'While still nascent,” Google said, “this represents a significant step toward more autonomous and adaptive malware.'"

Nothing's Funny about this one.
