A jailbroken Google Gemini did 90 percent of the work in a credential- and cryptocurrency-stealing spree, including spinning up a new command-and-control (C2) server in just six minutes, according to a TrendAI report shared exclusively with The Register.
The human behind the heist – a solo Russian-speaking miscreant known as “bandcampro” – acted as the manager of the cyber-fraud operation, which targeted hardcore supporters and conspiracy theorists.
…
the AI diagnosed and fixed the issue, ultimately deploying the C2 infrastructure to control eight computers in a dental clinic and access the Open Dental database.
So in short, there have to be some conspiracy theorists within the field of dentistry.
A mate uses that dentist. The crashed-into part used to be the waiting room, but it’s now the surgery.
i guess they could make a special offer:
“NEW! Environmentally-friendly crowns made from recycled bumper plastic. First patient gets a FREE number plate!”
… I wonder if a robot would make such a mess, though? (sorry for OT). The one the other month crashed through the front window, leaving its bumper inside. They are currently rebuilding the frontage.
When the report comes from a company named TrendAI, not gonna lie, I have to call at least some of it BS. No doubt that LLMs became incredible at automating things like this, though.
