Microsoft thwarted phishing campaign after detecting AI-generated code inside malicious attachments




  • AI generated code used in phishing campaign, blocked by Microsoft Defender
  • Attackers used SVG file disguised as PDF, with hidden business themed code inside
  • Security Copilot flagged AI style traits, like verbose identifiers and generic comments

AI code is now used across industries for a range of tasks, and in cybersecurity, both security teams and attackers are increasingly turning to large language models to support their work.
