It appears they're not really ransomware, but created by a security vendor as a proof of concept.
Need to decide if I write this up.

It would be great if any of the publications covering it actually bothered to investigate it..

As a follow up, The Register did the actual journalism on this and yes - the #PromptLock generative AI ransomware story which went worldwide was bullshit. https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/05/real_story_ai_ransomware_promptlock/
The CVE-2025-7775 generative AI exploit story also worldwide right now is also bullshit, I don't have the energy to explain why (hint: several of the Netscaler versions shown in the CheckPoint write up aren't even vulnerable).

Also, the Trend Micro story about a billion Google accounts being breached is also bullshit - the story is written using GenAI. That one also went global.
We've reached the point where vendors are just throwing shit at customers and journalists are just single source running it, nothing matters basically.
