AI is Helping Hackers Automate and Customize Cyberattacks

CrowdStrike’s latest cyber-threat-hunting report highlights how artificial intelligence is increasingly being weaponized by hackers to automate and enhance cyberattacks. AI tools are helping attackers maintain high volumes of intrusions and even manipulate hiring processes to infiltrate companies. These hackers are also using AI to craft convincing phishing messages, conduct reconnaissance, and streamline fraudulent operations. CrowdStrike warns that trusted AI systems may soon become insider threats as the attack surface continues to grow.
