WormGPT 4: AI-Powered Cybercrime Tools on the Rise

Redazione RHC 26/11/2025

Cybercriminals no longer need to convince ChatGPT or Claude Code to write malware or data-stealing scripts. A whole class of specialized language models, specifically designed for attacks, already exists. One such system is WormGPT 4, which advertises itself as “the key to borderless artificial intelligence .” It carries on the legacy of the original WormGPT model, which emerged in 2023 and subsequently disappeared due to the rise of other ” toxic ” LLMs, as highlighted in the Abnormal Security study . According to experts at Unit 42 at Palo Alto Networks, sales of WormGPT 4 began around September 27, with advertisements appearing

Cybersecurity in the Middle East: Egitto and Qatar Lead the Way

Redazione RHC 26/11/2025

Global attention to cybersecurity continues to grow in a context dominated by digital transformation and the rapid spread of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, making it easier to identify vulnerabilities and conduct complex attacks. In this context, a country’s ability to ensure protection, coordination, training, and international cooperation has become a key indicator of national stability. In the 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index, Egypt and Qatar achieved a maximum score of 100, placing them among the 12 highest-performing countries globally. This result was achieved thanks to compliance with the index’s five pillars: legislative framework, technical protection, organizational structure, capacity development programs, and international collaboration

The Future of Tech: How to Navigate the Digital World

Redazione RHC 26/11/2025

There are books that explain technology and books that make you understand why you should pause for a minute before scrolling through a feed. Il Futuro Prossimo , Sandro Sana ‘s new work, available on Amazon , belongs to the second category: it doesn’t pretend to educate you, it pretends to make you think. And it does so without technicalities, without barriers, and without that distance that information technology often creates between the writer and the reader. Sandro Sana is a well-known figure in the world of Italian cybersecurity (CISO and director of the Cyber division of Eurosystem , teacher, communicator, member

Redazione RHC 24/11/2025

On November 24, Alibaba announced Qwen3Max, which had been in public beta for a week , and had already surpassed 10 million downloads. It was a record that shattered all others. In a very short time, it had overshadowed ChatGPT, Sora , and even DeepSeek , becoming the fastest-growing AI application ever seen. It was Alibaba’s second China move in 2025 , after DeepSeek had already shaken up the industry earlier this year. The Chinese giant’s shares rose 4.13% in Hong Kong. No overly pompous official announcements, no flashy livestream events: just numbers that spoke for themselves. And the markets, as usual,

Digital Surveillance at Work: The Rise of Algorithmic Monitoring

Redazione RHC 24/11/2025

Remote work has given employees freedom , but with it has also come digital surveillance . We discussed this some time ago in an article, reporting that these monitoring tools are also coming to Microsoft Teams. Therefore, instead of the boss’s unwavering gaze, this role will increasingly be played by ” algorithms ” that monitor how long applications are open, which websites are visited, and how actively the mouse is moved and keys pressed. Advanced systems even analyze employees’ facial expressions and the way they walk in front of a webcam. But these tools also highlight the inherent limitations of collecting personal

The head of the Catholic Churchhas expressed concern about the way today’s children and adolescents interact with digital technologies. In his viewthe abundance of information available through neural networks and other intelligent systems can seriously affect the mental and intellectual development of the younger generations. Pope Leo XIV has warned of the risks thatthe rapid development of artificial intelligence could pose to young people. He expressed his position at the Second Annual Rome Conference on AI, part of which is being held in the Vatican.

“Jailbreak as a Service” is Coming: 60 Euros a Month to Purchase Cybercrime-Ready AI Systems

Redazione RHC 24/06/2025

According to a report by Cato Networks, cybercriminals continue to actively use LLM patterns in their attacks. Specifically, we are talking about versions of theGrok and Mixtral patterns that have been deliberately modified to bypass built-in restrictions and generate malicious content. Apparently, one such modified version of Grok appeared on the popular forum BreachForums in February 2025. It was posted by a user with the pseudonym Keanu. The tool is a wrapper around the original Grok model and is controlled via a specially written system prompt. This is how the authors ensure that the model bypasses protection mechanisms and generates phishing emails, malicious code, and hacking instructions. A

Bringing Your Imagination to Life: AI-Generated Images from Your Description

Ashleigh Crause 14/05/2025

Remember when you had a vivid image in your mind but struggled to describe it to someone else? Maybe it was a character from a dream, a breathtaking landscape, or a unique design you wished existed in reality. Back then, we relied on that one talented artistic friend to bring our visions to life. But explaining a mental image was often frustrating after all, you were relying on another person’s interpretation of your words, which often led to results that weren’t quite what you had in mind. AI image generators use deep learning algorithms to interpret text descriptions and transform them into
