Very interesting new incident the global cybersecurity community is talking about right now, even Elon Musk has mentioned it... cybercriminals used AI-generated malware to poison a popular Python coding package called LiteLLM that helps manage AI API keys that provide access for more than 100 AI models to huge organisations including Nasa, Netflix, Nvidia, Adobe and Stripe.

The main reason the attack was discovered was that the malware was incredibly sloppily coded. If it hadn't been, no one would have noticed.

And the hilarious part was that the hackers got so upset that the cybersecurity researchers criticised the low quality of their code, even contacting one directly to argue that it was nevertheless indeed *successful* as millions of machines were infected 🤣

I have availability this week to provide commentary on this news and both the cybersecurity and AI aspects, so feel free to reach out😉
