3rd party AV has not been needed for many years.

Chrome is anti-adblock these days, ditch it and go with another browser like Firefox/Opera etc.

The first AI-powered ransomware has been discovered — "PromptLock" uses local AI to foil heuristic detection and evade API tracking

Hackers finally discover a practical use for local AI models

www.tomshardware.com

ESET announced they discovered world's first AI powered ransomware called PromptLock, the malware used OpenAI language model to generated scripts to target Windows, MacOS and Linux.

I am really very concerned about this development.

Linux users are doomed.

I wondered who the bad actor created PromptLock?

Human or.... self aware AI like Skynet?
