This Windows Malware is Built to Let Up to Four AI Models Vote on Its Next Move

Cisco Talos has identified a Windows malware called CLOSEDQUORUM that operates differently from typical malware. Instead of receiving instructions from an attacker's server, CLOSEDQUORUM takes orders based on a vote from up to four AI models. These AI models can decide on various malicious actions, including stealing Windows credentials, saved browser passwords, and crypto wallet data. However, researchers have not observed this process working from start to finish, and the publicly available version of the malware is non-functional. The unique voting mechanism sets CLOSEDQUORUM apart from other malware variants.
