In recent months, a hacker group known as FunkSec has emerged on the global stage, leveraging artificial intelligence to create sophisticated attack tools and malware. Despite their lack of experience, they have already targeted over 85 companies across various countries, including the United States, Italy, Brazil, and Israel.
What makes FunkSec stand out is their approach: they let AI handle most of the work, such as writing malicious code and creating ransomware. One notable example was their use of AI to generate flawless coding instructions, even though the members themselves often make basic grammar mistakes.

I wrote with Tanaka about it, Tanaka agrees it should be removed as there isn't an official TG channel anymore.
