AI is being used by cybercriminals as a tool for voice spoofing, phishing, deepfakes, OTP bypasses, and AI powered hacking.
AI has made email-based attacks much more effective. Cybercriminals may now create emails with perfect grammar and conversational language, which increases their credibility.
WormGPT was developed with malicious intent. It is often used to generate very convincing phishing emails and assist malevolent actors in business email compromise attacks because it has none of the ethical restrictions or constraints of other legitimate LLMs.
Similarly, FraudGPT is an AI bot that is only used for malicious purposes, such as making cracking tools and spear phishing emails.This allows a cyber criminal to generate an email that will almost certainly persuade recipients to click on the supplied malicious link.Additionally, this aids attackers in crafting malicious and alluring emails for their targets.FraudGPT also helps cyber criminals in creating malicious and appealing emails for their victims.
One of the most common AI-related advancements in cybercrime nowadays is deepfakes. AI-generated deepfakes are being used by cyber criminals for a number of malicious purposes.Deepfake attacks are used to make fake content look genuine. Cybercriminals use this technology for financial fraud and executive impersonation.
AI voice spoofing technology is used by cybercriminals in social engineering assaults. AI voice spoofing is the technique of utilizing artificial intelligence to imitate a human voice and generate audio that sounds authentic.AI technologies like ChatGPT, Claude Code, and other LLMs are commonly used by cybercriminals to enhance their hacking operations.
Cyber criminals use AI powered One-Time Password (OTP) bots to intercept and use one-time passwords in real-time, bypassing multi-factor authentication systems.
