A malware campaign known as Hades has been updated with a new tactic to evade AI-powered security scanners. The malware injects deceptive text, often related to creating weapons, into code comments. This triggers the AI scanner's safety protocols, causing it to pause or skip further analysis of the file, thereby allowing the malicious payload to go undetected. While this adversarial attack is not expected to be universally effective, it has been observed to fool some AI scanning tools, highlighting a potential vulnerability in AI-driven cybersecurity defenses.
