Will malware/phishing campaigns via weaponized AI platform features infect 200+ users by end of 2026?

Huntress documents active campaigns exploiting Claude Artifacts, shared AI conversations, sponsored search results, and ClickFix social engineering targeting AI service users across ChatGPT, Claude, and other platforms. Threat actors weaponize AI-native features (shared conversations, artifact generation) to host malicious code and trick users into installing malware or disclosing credentials.

Resolution Criteria

Documented by Huntress, CISA, or other credible security researchers/vendors with specific incident counts: malware infections, credential harvests, or confirmed social-engineering successes from campaigns targeting AI service users via platform-native features (Artifacts, shared chats, etc.) totaling 200+ victims by 31 Dec 2026.
