New ransomware attack based on an evolutional generative adversarial network can evade security measures
In recent years, cyber attackers have become increasingly skilled at circumventing security measures and successfully targeting technology users. Developing effective methods to detect, neutralize or mitigate the impact of these attacks is of utmost importance.

Here is the latest report of an expert system (ie) artificial intelligence that writes its own adaptive code, to break thru computer security. Its a technically boring read, but the point is capability now exists for broad undetectable invasion.
Banks, server farms, utility automation controls, pentagon nuclear launch systems, and personal computers have historically become fair game for security breaches, usually discovered long after they occur.
Computer security breaches typically collect intellectual property, state intelligence, log-in credentials with passwords, or coordinate denial of service, and ransomware attacks from vulnerable operating systems, such as Microsoft windows. Most IOT, and router hardware are also known vectors hijacked as remote zombie networks.
The difference with adaptive AI ransomware breaches, which lurk without causing detectable damage, is the potential for mass financial ID theft against individuals, not eligible for FDIC insurance due to their own electronic activity, much less after indemnifying banks & brokerages against such loss.
After banks mass foreclose on collateral assets, forcing families into homeless encampments, it could take months or years before government believes individuals were actual victims of a coordinated identity theft attack.
Since there is no honor among thieves, any disgruntled actor could also turn this adaptive AI capability into a weapon that disconnects its master, or unleashes other autonomous disruption akin to the Terminator movie theme.
