Cybercriminals Leverage AI to Enhance Attack Capabilities
Research from Cisco Talos reveals that cybercriminals are increasingly incorporating AI into their operations, using it to develop malicious code, build fraud infrastructure, and accelerate vulnerability research. The study, presented at the Black Hat USA conference, highlights how AI systems' guardrails are often ineffective, allowing threat actors to exploit AI for malicious purposes. This trend represents a significant shift in the cyber threat landscape, with AI becoming a tool for both attackers and defenders.
