VoidLink, the recently discovered Linux malware which targets Linux-based cloud servers, was likely almost entirely generated by AI, researchers have said. First detailed by cybersecurity analysts at Check Point last week, the new malware is made up of over 30 modular plugins and is designed to maintain long-term access to Linux systems. It was initially believed that the sophistication and modular nature of VoidLink and the way it was developed at rapid pace pointed to the malware being the work of a well-resourced, experienced cybercriminal operation. However, following further analysis, Check Point Research has concluded that VoidLink was largely built by AI, likely under the direction of one person. AI and AI agents were not just used to write code, but to plan, structure and execute…
