What Mythos Actually Changes About Ransomware (And What It Doesn't)

Mythos represents a genuine advancement in vulnerability discovery through artificial intelligence, but ransomware attackers typically gain access through compromised credentials rather than zero-day exploits. The article examines what aspects of ransomware threats AI tools actually change versus what remains fundamentally unchanged in attacker tactics.
