Kaspersky Lab has identified CyberStrikeAI as one of the first instances of a large language model (LLM) being used to conduct cyber intrusions in the wild. This open-source Go toolkit allows an LLM on the attacker's server to select commands, which are then executed by an implant on the victim's machine. The attacks targeted educational networks in Africa and Latin America, achieving domain administrator access within three to four days using familiar techniques like Kerberoasting and LSASS dumps. AI
