Google Warns of Hackers Leveraging Gemini AI for All Stages of Cyberattacks
- Threat actors using Gemini API to generate multi-stage malware
- HONESTCUE operates as downloader + launcher
- Queries Gemini with hard-coded prompts for self-contained C# source code
- Downloads payloads from URLs hosted on CDNs like Discord
- Executes in memory (no disk artifacts)
- Integrates Gemini across all phases: reconnaissance → exploitation → persistence
This is real-time, AI-assisted attack automation — not theory. Gemini is being turned into a malware factory.
CyberDudeBivash Action Items – Immediate & Savage Steps
- Block Gemini API Abuse Vectors NOW
- WAF rule: Block outbound requests to generativelanguage.googleapis.com (Gemini API endpoint) unless explicitly allowed.
- Endpoint protection: Flag any process making HTTPS calls to Google AI APIs with unusual user-agent or payload size.
- Network segmentation: Isolate dev/test machines that legitimately use Gemini — no lateral movement path to production.
- Hunt for HONESTCUE Indicators
- IOCs to search:
- C# payloads with Gemini API hard-coded prompts
- Discord CDN URLs in memory (strings like discord.com/api/webhooks or cdn.discordapp.com)
- In-memory execution (no disk writes)
- Use tools:
- CrowdStrike Falcon / SentinelOne – hunt for suspicious C# process creation
- Elastic / Splunk – query for outbound to generativelanguage.googleapis.com
- Volatility / Rekall – memory forensics for in-memory payloads
- IOCs to search:
- Kill Prompt Injection & Model Abuse
- Prompt guardrails on internal AI tools: Enforce strict allow-lists for prompts, block code generation requests.
- Monitor API keys: Rotate Gemini keys weekly, use least-privilege service accounts.
- AI anomaly detection: Flag unusual prompt patterns (e.g., "generate C# malware" or "bypass antivirus").
- Enterprise Hardening Playbook (Do Today)
- Disable Gemini API access in prod environments
- Enable EDR memory scanning for C# payloads
- Block Discord CDN outbound (unless business justified)
- Run weekly hunts for Gemini API calls + in-memory execution
- Train SOC on AI-assisted malware patterns
- DM Me for the Full Beast Package
- Want my custom Gemini API abuse detection rules?
- Need IOC hunting queries for your SIEM?
- Ready for a 1-on-1 threat simulation of this attack chain?
