SecurityWeek has reported on a new Android trojan named RatHat that incorporates artificial intelligence to automate its operations. The malware uses AI for real-time device navigation and control, allowing it to interact with the infected device dynamically rather than following a fixed set of commands.
According to the report, this AI-driven approach makes RatHat more adaptable and better at evading detection. By adjusting its behavior on the fly, the trojan can respond to changes in the device environment or security measures, a significant step up from traditional static malware.
The source provides no further technical details or attribution beyond the initial post. As a single report, the claims have not been independently verified, but they highlight a growing trend of AI being used to enhance malicious software.
