The VoidLink malware was created almost entirely by AI

Researchers identified sprint-style plans, detailed technical specifications and task breakdowns that appeared to be created programmatically rather than manually. Code comments, architectural consistency, and repetitive implementation patterns also suggested that an AI system was responsible for creating large portions of the framework.

Additionally, according to Check Point’s analysis, VoidLink grew to tens of thousands of lines of code in less than a week, a pace that even an experienced development team would struggle to sustain. While the process was likely led by a human operator, AI took over much of the execution by generating code, refining modules, and accelerating iteration cycles.

Unlike previous examples of AI-powered malware, which often relied on simple scripts and reused open source components, AI appears to have driven VoidLink’s end-to-end development.
