TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฅ HOLD UP ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฅ Someone decided it was a GOOD idea to create AI-powered ransomware using OpenAI's gpt-oss:20b model ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. Ladies and gentlehackers, meet **PromptLock** โ€” the Cybersecurity equivalent of โ€œLetโ€™s make a dealโ€ฆ but the only prize is your data!โ€ ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€ ESET just dropped this bombshell like they're unveiling the latest iPhone... but instead of buying a shiny new gadget, you're getting your files held hostage. Kinda feels like that moment when you realize your โ€˜freeโ€™ social media app is just a data-hungry monster trying to eat your soul ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’€. Imagine the convo in the dev shed: ๐Ÿ‘ค *Dev 1*: โ€œHey, letโ€™s unleash chaos on the world!โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ค *Dev 2*: โ€œBut like... what if they actually pay?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ค *Dev 1*: โ€œStonks go brrrrr!โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ธ Written in Golang, ๐Ÿค“ this malwareโ€™s real-time Lua script generation is like watching *this is fine* dog meme play out in real life.๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ”ฅ And hereโ€™s the TEA โ˜•: If your security strategy is using your grandma's birthday as a password, it's *definitely* time to *seethe* in the comments. ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ”ฅ My prediction? In 2024, weโ€™re gonna see tech CEOs *literally* holding press conferences because their AI built fidget spinners that run on stolen data. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฅ Donโ€™t miss out; it's about to get chaotic! ๐Ÿคช
