Palo Alto Networks' threat research team Unit 42 has disclosed a malware campaign tracked as CL-UNK-1211, in which attackers combine AI-generated scripts with a backdoor called SysGoRAT to breach Linux servers, reportedly including government systems. Security commentators are highlighting the campaign as another sign of attackers adopting AI tooling to automate intrusion work on Linux infrastructure.
