AI-powered cyberattack uses machine learning algorithms to do malicious activities.These attacks are increasingly complex, focused, and difficult to detect since they automate using artificial intelligence.
Cyber criminals can now create targeted and convincing phishing emails more quickly thanks to AI-powered technologies like ChatGPT, which previously required a significant amount of expertise and resources.
There are many different types of AI-powered attacks, including ransomware, malware, phishing emails, and even social engineering tactics.
Cybercriminals use artificial intelligence (AI) to clone any voice in a deepfake voice scam.Deepfake technology creates highly realistic synthetic media, such as fake audio, video, and image, using artificial intelligence.Advanced phishing emails free of grammatical errors are created by AI phishing.AI-powered chatboard phishing is another tactic used by cybercriminals.
PromptLock is a new ransomware that uses GenAI to carry out its attacks. In order to dynamically produce Lua scripts during an infection, PromptLock uses a locally available AI model. These scripts can run on Linux, macOS, and Windows because they are cross-platform compatible.
A group from New York University Tandon School of Engineering actually developed the AI-powered ransomware that was just found. However, it shows how open-source huge language models could unleash new types of ransomware attacks that are both powerful and destructive.
