@mrgrumpymonkey depends...

Next logical step is some #PowerShell script that downloads a #Linux distro image, repartition the system drive, add some unallocated space at the end, put a #CloudInit config in it and then do an #UnattendedInstall of said system with bcd by calling up #bcdedit to #chainload said partition.

  • I jist have neither the time nor spoons to do that shit myself, but in theory a #NetInstaller image of ~ 100MB should suffice...

Cybercriminals camouflaging threats as AI tool installers

Cisco Talos has uncovered new threats disguised as legitimate AI tool installers, including CyberLock ransomware, Lucky_Gh0$t ransomware, and a newly-discovered malware called Numero. These threats exploit the increasing popularity of AI across various industries. CyberLock, developed using PowerShell, encrypts specific files and demands a $50,000 ransom in Monero. Lucky_Gh0$t is a variant of Yashma ransomware, distributed as a fake ChatGPT installer. Numero, masquerading as an AI video creation tool, manipulates the Windows GUI, rendering systems unusable. Threat actors are using SEO poisoning and social media to distribute these fraudulent installers, targeting businesses in B2B sales, technology, and marketing sectors. Organizations must exercise caution and rely on reputable vendors to avoid falling prey to these malicious campaigns.
