During network analysis, Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) made a startling discovery: an experimental malware family named PROMPTFLUX has the capability to instantly rewrite its own code. It achieves this by remotely invoking the Google Gemini API, enabling it to evade detection with remarkable ease. This sophisticated malware is equipped with a 'Thinking Robot' module, which periodically queries the Gemini API to acquire new code snippets specifically designed to circumvent antivirus software. In some extreme cases, certain variants of PROMPTFLUX go as far as rewriting their entire source code on an hourly basis, ensuring their continuous evolution and adaptability. GTIG has highlighted that, despite being in its nascent stages of development and not yet posing an immediate intrusion threat, PROMPTFLUX has already demonstrated attempts at lateral spread within networks. This serves as a stark warning that malware powered by artificial intelligence is poised for rapid proliferation in the near future.
