Validated facts
Concepts such as BlackMamba show how malware constantly rewrites its code at runtime via an AI API. Function and payload stay the same, but the hash and signature keep changing.

Security relevance & practical tip
Classic signature-based antivirus fails; heuristics and behavioral analysis in EDR become indispensable.
