Malware developers are now using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up the process of writing code. According to a September report from HP’s Wolf Security team, researchers discovered a new AsyncRAT variant that appeared to have been developed using generative AI while reviewing a suspicious email sent to a customer.

This new variant shows features such as code structure and function names that indicate it was written by AI. This suggests that AI technology is speeding up the malware development process and increasing attacks.
