🔙 🚪 Researchers found a new backdoor called #Slopoly, likely generated with #AI, used in an Interlock ransomware attack to steal data.

Slopoly is a simple #PowerShell client that beacons to a C2 server, runs commands, and keeps persistence.

#IBM X-Force links the attack to a financially motivated group known as Hive0163 and says AI tools are speeding custom malware development.

Researchers from IBM X-Force have uncovered a new AI-generated malware, dubbed “Slopoly.”

@scottwilson @BiaSciLab seriously, I don’t know who is more excited! Every year the #ibmxforce intern class gets more and more exciting!
