From the WTAF dept: Malware developers are now adding text about nuclear and biological weapons to their spyware to evade AI-based security scanners. tl;dr: The inclusion of content that LLMs are trained to refuse -- such as information about nukes and bioweapons -- can effectively prevent the LLM from continuing to analyze the threat. "This header appears designed for AI-mediated analysis, not for Node, Bun, or Python. It attempts to derail scanners or analyst copilots that feed the beginning of a file to a language model without clearly isolating the content as untrusted data. In weak pipelines, this can cause refusal behavior, prompt confusion, context pollution, or premature classification before the scanner reaches the actual malware." https://socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hulud-miasma-and-hades-worms-target-bioinformatics-and-mcp-developers-via-malicious IDK why, but this reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon where Calvin asks his mom for stuff she will never give him in a million years, and then he just asks for a cookie.
