AI Boosts Ransomware Attacks 70%, Fueling Cybersecurity Arms Race

Ransomware is being enhanced by artificial intelligence, with cybercriminals using generative AI tools to create sophisticated malware. A notable example is PromptLock, identified as the first fully AI-driven ransomware, discovered on August 27, 2025. It utilizes OpenAI’s gpt-oss-20b model to dynamically generate malicious code, complicating detection efforts. ESET's analysis indicates that PromptLock processes operations locally on the victim's device, minimizing external communications and reducing its digital footprint. The first half of 2025 saw a 70% increase in ransomware victims, largely due to AI-enhanced phishing campaigns. Akamai Technologies reported a 37% increase in ransomware incidents in 2024, fueled by generative AI. Governments are beginning to respond with regulations for quicker breach disclosures, and cybersecurity experts emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and adaptive defenses.
