Researcher links recent lone-actor attacks to abliterated DeepSeek 4.1 Flash via ARTEX
MatthewMcAteer0 · x · 2026-10-24
Andrew Curran claims that many recent lone-actor incidents used ARTEX with DeepSeek 4.1 Flash as the primary model, including the South Korean bank attacks documented by CrowdStrike. What he shares is an abliterated (guardrails-removed) version of that model, noting it is also useful for defense but remains dual-use. The claim is a personal account and not officially verified.
