How AI is shaping malware analysis

This report details discovery and analysis of RAT samples that mimic AI chat applications (notably DarkComet variants) and that reference OpenAI API endpoints; it includes VirusTotal search queries, code snippets, observed artifacts (e.g., EPL strings, registry keys), and notes that attackers are opportunistically leveraging AI themes and sometimes embedding API usage without clear operational benefit—recommend continued monitoring of such IOCs and behaviors.
