UAC-0099 GuardBreaker Trips LLM Safety to Block Malware Analysis

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News

Russia-aligned threat actor UAC-0099 has deployed a technique called GuardBreaker that embeds nuclear weapon prompts inside malicious VBS scripts to deliberately trigger LLM safety guardrails and prevent AI-assisted malware analysis. This represents a maturing offensive tradecraft where adversarial prompt injection is weaponised not to extract information but to induce refusal states in AI security tooling. The technique mirrors similar tactics observed in the TeamPCP supply chain campaigns, signalling that LLM-first security pipelines are becoming a recognised and actively exploited weak point.

GreyVibe Uses ChatGPT and Gemini for Ukraine Cyberespionage

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.5 BleepingComputer

A likely Russian threat group dubbed GreyVibe has been actively using commercial LLMs — including ChatGPT and Google Gemini — to generate high-quality phishing lures, malware tooling, and social-engineering content targeting Ukrainian military, government, and civilian organisations. WithSecure researchers identified LLM artefact markers embedded in campaign imagery, confirming AI-assisted content generation at scale. The case represents a concrete, documented example of adversarial LLM weaponisation in an active nation-state-adjacent cyberespionage campaign.
