Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning powered cybercrimes. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are conquering the cyber world at a rapid pace. AI can speed up many processes which don't manually can cost a lot of time. Along with this advancement, AI ML-based cybercrimes are affecting millions of people. Let us dive into some of the cybercrimes powered by AI ML. Deep Fakes. Deep Fakes are false videos or audio files made using advanced deep learning and artificial intelligence, AI techniques that can evade the human eye and even bypass software detection. AI-based spearfishing. A spearfishing email crafted using AI will allow hackers to target victims more effectively and at scale. With AI, cybercriminals would generate subtle, well-informed, well-written fishing emails that mimic an individual to great accuracy. AI Botnet Attack. AI-based botnet can outpow the defense systems to launch massive DDoS attacks. AI predicts the defense site's strategies which will help the botnet to devise new ways to exploit systems. AI-based password guessing. Cybercriminals are increasingly employing AI to improve algorithms for guessing users' passwords. With newer networks and generative adversarial networks, cybercriminals can easily analyse vast password data sets and generate password variations. Artificial intelligence or machine learning driven cyber attacks are likely to spike in the coming years. Constant vigilance and staying aware of the latest cyber threat landscape will help you stay ahead of them.
