How threat actors can use generative artificial intelligence?

Security Affairs

By automating the generation of malware variants, attackers can evade detection mechanisms employed by major anti-malware engines. GAI models can refine these tools to bypass security defenses, making attacks more sophisticated and harder to detect. Another area of concern is the use of GAI to develop malicious code.
