Cybercriminals scale their operations and launch widespread strikes on multiple targets with minimal effort due to the increased accessibility of Artificial Intelligence.
Cybercriminals use AI to automate many of the steps involved in social engineering attacks and to craft more sophisticated, targeted, and more accurate communication to trick unsuspecting victims.
Chatbots can trick victims into disclosing personal and sensitive informations by effectively posing as real customer care representatives or business executives.
Cybercriminals take advantage of AI to improve their password-decoding algorithms. The improved algorithms make it possible for hackers to guess passwords more quickly and accurately.
AI is also used by cybercriminals to create fake websites and social media accounts that promote malicious investment schemes to lure potential victims.
Deepfakes are another tool used by cybercriminals to simply alter audio or visual content and make it appear authentic including impersonating someone by using fake video and audio.
