AI-generated malware has officially arrived. But does it matter all that much?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week on Security Intelligence, Suja Viswesan, Dave Bales and Dustin Heywood join us to discuss VoidLink, which might just be the first thoroughly documented case of a malware framework generated with significant AI help. The question is: What really changes when malware is no longer the handiwork of human hackers?<\/p>\n

We also explore the World Economic Forum\u2019s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026, where CEOs and CISOs are split on what they fear most: cyber fraud or ransomware? Then we cover the debate over data protection vs. service resilience, and we dig into the takedown of RedVDS, a major player in the cybercrime-as-a-service supply chain.<\/p>\n

Finally, we reflect on the 40th anniversary of \u201cThe Hacker Manifesto,\u201d asking what\u2019s changed\u2014and what hasn\u2019t\u2014in hacker culture.<\/p>\n

All that and more on Security Intelligence:<\/p>\n
