New x47.c Windows Botnet Weaponizes xAI Grok, AI API Draining
A Windows botnet called x47.c leverages xAI's Grok artificial intelligence (AI) service to sustain its presence on infected systems by dynamically selecting from a set of predefined actions. The botnet drains the AI application programming interface (API) as part of its operational model.
Why it matters: Organizations running Windows systems need to monitor for x47.c infections and API-based abuse; defenders should track whether Grok API consumption spikes indicate botnet activity on their networks.
