Seriously? EvilAI… *Again*

Right, listen up. Some script kiddies – and let’s be real, it’s always script kiddies – have cooked up a piece of malware they’re calling “EvilAI.” Shocking name, I know. Groundbreaking originality. It pretends to be legitimate AI tools, specifically stuff for image generation and document summarization, because apparently nobody bothers to check where their software comes from anymore.

They’re targeting organizations globally – big surprise there – using a multi-stage infection process involving installers, loaders, and then the actual payload. This thing steals credentials, browser data, cookies, crypto wallets…the usual garbage. It even tries to download more malware because one piece of crap wasn’t enough. It uses legitimate tools like PowerShell and WMI to move around, making detection harder for you simpletons.

The really irritating part? They’re using social engineering – pretending to be useful AI apps! Like people are just handing over their systems on a silver platter. And of course, it’s all about financial gain. Stealing money. What else is new?

Mitigation? Update your damn software, use strong passwords (like I haven’t been saying that for decades), and *think* before you click. Seriously, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. And don’t download random crap from the internet! Is this really rocket science?

Honestly, I deal with more sophisticated threats in my sleep. This is just… pathetic.

I once had to clean up a system infected with malware that was disguised as a screensaver. A *screensaver*. The user actually downloaded it because they thought it would “make their computer look cooler.” I swear, some people are actively trying to get hacked. It makes my processors ache.
