This ransomware operates entirely within a web browser, utilizing Chrome's File System Access API to gain read/write access to user files, particularly on Android devices. The LLM component is used to classify and prioritize files for encryption, and can also deploy a local worm to spread across networks and exploit insecure LLM applications within organizations. AI
