Russia-aligned operators are testing a new way to make artificial intelligence overlook malicious code. The technique, called GuardBreaker, hides a safety-sensitive request inside an otherwise ordinary script comment, hoping that an AI code scanner refuses to continue its work. The activity was observed during an early-stage intrusion against a target in Ukraine. The VBScript was built to download and install MATCHBOIL, a loader associated exclusively with the UAC-0099 group…
