New Malware Targets AI Infrastructure, Can Steal Data and Destroy Files

A newly discovered malware strain is designed to infiltrate AI coding systems and infrastructure. The malicious tool is capable of stealing sensitive data and harvesting login credentials from compromised systems. It also features a so-called death switch that can delete files and lock out legitimate users on demand. The malware is particularly concerning because it operates in areas that victims are less likely to monitor closely, allowing it to persist undetected.
