This article is a Threat Source newsletter that reflects on the current state of AI in cybersecurity, describing a shift from a 'pre-Mythos' to a 'post-Mythos' era. It highlights the rapid advancement of AI models, including open-weight options like GLM-5.2, which are closing the capability gap with closed models.
Cisco Talos has identified a new Rust-based remote access trojan (RAT) called "msaRAT," developed by the Chaos ransomware group. This malware leverages the Tokio asynchronous runtime to establish a covert command-and-control (C2) channel by exploiting the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) in Chrome or Edge browsers.
