Title: AI Is Now the Weapon — GreyVibe, BTMOB, and the New Attack Pipeline
Episode Number: 350
Overview
This week: A Russian-linked threat group called GreyVibe is weaponizing ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Ideogram AI to run sophisticated cyberespionage campaigns against Ukrainian targets across military, government, and civilian sectors. ESET documents BTMOB, an Android RAT sold as malware-as-a-service with a point-and-click builder for generating custom phishing payloads. Perplexity launches Bumblebee, an open-source developer supply chain scanner. And we look at how social engineering on gaming platforms like Roblox is leading to malware infections and extortion attempts targeting younger demographics.
