This episode of Security Intelligence explores the "Promptware" kill chain for AI attacks, moving beyond simple prompt injections. The discussion also covers evolving cloud attack trends targeting ecosystems over infrastructure, ransomware gangs "living off the land" with native tools, and the critical yet overlooked "rusting edge" of OT security.
A discussion on the security risks of new AI browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, the rise of malware distribution through trusted platforms like YouTube, the emergence of "post-infrastructure" malware like GlassWorm, corporate negligence in mobile security, and the critical lessons in resiliency from the recent AWS outage.
Panelists debate the likelihood of an "AI vulnerability cataclysm", discussing whether AI will overwhelm defenses or if it's an arms race where both attackers and defenders level up. The discussion covers the return of threat group Scattered Spider using AI-powered vishing, the persistent and significant risks of cloud misconfigurations, the emergence of firmware-level ransomware like HybridPetya, and the importance of focusing on security fundamentals and user education over punitive rules.
