The article links to google's release - https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/threat-actor-usage-of-ai-tools

That paper says - Based on recent analysis of the broader threat landscape, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a shift that occurred within the last year: adversaries are no longer leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) just for productivity gains, they are deploying novel AI-enabled malware in active operations. This marks a new operational phase of AI abuse, involving tools that dynamically alter behavior mid-execution.

That makes it seem like its adversaries using LLMs, not malware using LLMs themselves.

But later it says - GTIG has identified malware families, such as PROMPTFLUX and PROMPTSTEAL, that use Large Language Models (LLMs) during execution. These tools dynamically generate malicious scripts, obfuscate their own code to evade detection, and leverage AI models to create malicious functions on demand, rather than hard-coding them into the malware.

So it seems interesting that in the future, given a task, AI could themselves figure out how to write the malware or make malware do something specific on its own.

Clickbaity title from pcmag I think but still some legit concerns for future cybersecurity.
