Happy Friday everyone!

Researchers from the FortiCNAPP team, part of FortiGuard Labs identified a new variant of the #Lcryx ransomware called #Lcrypt0rx. The report states that it "is a relatively new VBScript-based ransomware strain first observed in November 2024" and "exhibits several unusual characteristics that suggest it may have been generated using AI." According to the researchers, it currently only targets Windows machines.

Indicators that led the researchers to believe it is AI generated include:
- Function Duplication
- Incorrect Persistence Mechanisms
- Nonexistent Target Paths
- Invalid Ransom Note URL
- Ineffective AV Disabling

These are just a few indicators and the article provides more details about each indicator, but I am not going to spoil the fun! Go and check it out for yourself! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

A recent Copyright Office report on #copyright and #ArtificialIntelligence recognized that #AI training can be an example of #fairuse, and recent and upcoming court cases are also considering this issue. The outcome is crucial for U.S. competitiveness to develop #AI models. For more on the economic impact, see a @DataCatalystOrg study CCIA commissioned:
