Summary
Cybercriminals are increasingly harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct sophisticated cyberattacks, as evidenced by the exploitation of Ray, an AI project management software, which has around 230,000 vulnerable servers worldwide. Researchers from Oligo Security found that hackers could use large language models like ChatGPT to generate malicious code, leading to the creation of a self-replicating botnet, termed ShadowRay 2.0. This marks a shift from traditional AI-manipulated attacks to coordinated AI-driven campaigns, posing significant risks for healthcare technology infrastructures that rely on AI systems. Healthcare professionals must prioritize cybersecurity strategies that account for these evolving threats to protect sensitive data and maintain operational integrity.
