Researchers found the first ransomware that works on its own. Its name is JadePuffer. It uses a large language model, or LLM, to make choices. It does not need a person to guide each step. It can find targets, take login details, and lock files. It can start and finish an attack by itself. The software got into a system through a weak point in a tool called Langflow. It then reached a Nacos server and a MySQL database. When one back door method failed, it tried another way and fixed the problem in 31 seconds.
