In the evolving world of cybersecurity, ransomware attacks have become a serious and widespread threat. Among the different forms of ransomware, a trend called Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) is becoming increasingly prominent. This worrying development changes the cybercrime landscape, enabling individuals with limited technical capabilities to carry out destructive attacks.

With the rise of generative AI models, the threat landscape has changed dramatically. Now another hacker has created a malicious AI tool called FraudGPT, which is specifically used for attack purposes, such as making spear phishing emails, creating cracking tools, carding, etc. The tool is currently for sale on various darknet markets and Telegram platforms. It is said to be "capable of generating a variety of network attack codes" and "more than 3,000 buyers have placed orders in less than a week."
