Cybercriminals are increasingly disguising malware as artificial intelligence services and exploiting open-source software used in AI development, according to cybersecurity firm Kaspersky. The company identified open-source software as another major point of exposure. In these attacks, cybercriminals compromise software packages or development tools that are later incorporated into legitimate applications, allowing malicious code to spread across multiple organizations and users. Advanced threat groups are also using AI to assist in malware development and carry out more sophisticated supply chain attacks. The trend is increasing pressure on companies to weigh the productivity benefits of AI tools against the security risks introduced by their rapid adoption.
