Description: The FunkSec ransomware group allegedly leveraged AI tools, such as Miniapps chatbots, to develop and refine its ransomware operations, which is reported to have allowed apparently inexperienced actors to produce advanced malware rapidly. It is reported that the group claimed to have launched its data leak site in December 2024, allegedly targeting over 80 victims with ransomware and double extortion tactics. AI reportedly supported the creation of detailed code comments in order to refine the group's technical presentation, while also allegedly facilitating the rapid iteration of its custom encryptor written in Rust.
