{"data":{"id":"2288e2a6-1078-4ea6-9ba7-5ce29be63e80","title":"AI-generated Slopoly malware used in Interlock ransomware attack","summary":"Researchers discovered Slopoly, a backdoor malware (a hidden entry point into a system) likely created using an LLM (large language model, an AI trained on text data), that was deployed in ransomware attacks by the financially motivated group Hive0163. The malware uses a command-and-control framework (a central server that sends instructions to compromised systems) to steal data and maintain access, and its AI-generated code shows unusual features like detailed comments and clear variable names that are rare in human-written malware, suggesting that attackers are using AI tools to speed up custom malware creation.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ai-generated-slopoly-malware-used-in-interlock-ransomware-attack/","publishedAt":"2026-03-12T20:01:27.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"medium","attackType":["supply_chain"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-03-12T20:01:27.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity","confidentiality","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":null,"llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
