A new malware was discovered that attempted to communicate with an AI-based malware detection tool by injecting prompts disguised as innocent instructions.
The malicious file included natural language code that prompted the AI to classify it as benign, marking a shift in tactics to bypass AI-based security solutions.
Although the attempt to evade detection failed, this incident highlights a potential new trend in malware evasion techniques.
Researchers at Check Point identified the malware using prompt injection and emphasized the importance of detecting and understanding emerging evasion methods to enhance cybersecurity defenses.
