It sure feels like we’re at the peak of the Gartner hype cycle. If so, the bubble will pop, and we’ll end up with AI used where it actually works, not shoved into everything.

From the article:

The researchers have so far been unable to determine precisely how Krasue gets installed.

So no one knows yet. But I feel that the existence of malware in the wild is newsworthy, even if we don’t know how it got there. Regardless, you and I probably don’t have to worry about it unless you’re a Thai telecom.
