Meta has warned that
hackers
have started using AI to generate new malware.
The company tracked 10 AI-generated malware campaigns in March alone.
Generative AI involves using machine learning algorithms to create new content that resembles or is derived from existing data.
- In this case, the cybercriminals used a type of generative AI called a Generative Adversarial Network to produce malware that appeared benign to traditional security systems.
- The malware was designed to execute a hidden payload on an infected device only after it had passed through several security layers without detection.
- Meta added that this new technique could pose a significant challenge for cybersecurity professionals and requires a more advanced approach to detecting and defending against malware.
