LLM-powered ransomware 'JadePuffer' demonstrated using browser APIs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have demonstrated the plausibility of JadePuffer, a novel ransomware concept that leverages LLMs and browser capabilities. 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

IMPACT Highlights new attack vectors and security risks associated with LLM integration into applications and systems.
