Warnings have emerged from the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Center, also known as the NCSC, that artificial intelligence will significantly increase the threat of ransomware in the near future. The NCSC stated that AI will allow for lower-level threat actors to increase their effectiveness and conduct more bespoke campaigns that currently only the more experienced and knowledgeable threat actors can execute. While most commercially available Large Language Model (LLM) products have specific censors and safeguards in place to prevent their use in hacking activities, there are certain products like WormGPT that allow for the creation of malware. The NCSC stated that there were threat actors already utilizing this technology in their campaigns and that it will continue up to and past 2025. The NCSC explains that some state-sponsored actors may have a large enough data bank of previously used malware to train LLMs to write effective malware. Besides the creation of malware, the other threat consists of threat actors using LLMs for phishing and other social engineering attacks during which many people would struggle to distinguish between a real human and AI. CTIX analysts will continue to monitor the usage of AI and LLMs in threat actor activity.
