• An active cryptojacking campaign makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot interactions as a mechanism for surfacing malicious download sites.
• The activity, per the tech giant, impersonates legitimate system utilities like CrystalDiskInfo, HWMonitor, Display Driver Uninstaller, FurMark, K-Lite Codec Pack, and PDFgear.
