New Dolphin X malware uses AI to rank high-value targets

The Dolphin X remote access trojan (RAT) is a newly identified malware advertised on cybercrime forums that combines credential theft with an AI-powered 'AI Profiler' to rank infected users by their potential value to attackers. The AI Profiler analyzes application usage, browser domains, installed software, and other data to generate risk scores and daily summaries, enabling threat actors to prioritize high-value targets such as those with access to corporate networks, cloud environments, or cryptocurrency assets. The malware claims to target over 300 applications, including browsers, password managers, crypto wallets, and cloud tools, though its full capabilities remain unverified due to analysis limitations.
