New Gaslight macOS Malware Uses Prompt Injection to Disrupt AI-Assisted Analysis

A new malware called Gaslight, created by North Korea-aligned hackers, targets macOS systems and uses prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) to disrupt AI tools that analyze malware. The malware embeds fake system-failure messages designed to confuse AI-assisted analysis tools, while also stealing sensitive data like browser histories and passwords through a command-and-control (C2, a server that lets attackers remotely control infected computers) channel powered by Telegram.
