New Windows Malware Uses Claude to Rank Stolen Data
A newly reported Windows malware sends the data it steals to Claude, an AI model, so the AI can rank victims' assets by value. If one AI model refuses the task, the malware can switch to another. It then deletes itself after running, which makes it harder to trace.
