AI-powered tools provide cybercriminals with a wealth of resources and opportunity.
Here are some common ways AI is being used by hackers and scammers:
- Voice cloning
- Text generation
- Malicious programming code creation
- Authentication credential combination cracking
Spotting a fake is getting increasingly harder
The safest course of action is to NEVER provide information on the spot or to use links or means provided via a request
Confirm a request is legitimate by going through a trusted, known link directly or utilizing a known phone number to access customer support
Implement MFA (multi-factor authentication) where available to mitigate AI-powered credential combination cracking
