First AI-Powered Ransomware Emerges

A new ransomware called PromptLock just popped up, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. instead of relying on human coders, it taps into openai’s gpt-oss-20b model to whip up malicious code on the spot. using the ollama api, it churns out lua scripts that can steal data, lock files, or even wipe them clean. because it runs entirely on your computer—no internet needed—it’s like a burglar who never trips the alarm.
