Social engineering attacks using AI

[rakhirhif8963]

We expect AI to have a significant impact on cybersecurity this year. It will improve phishing techniques and speed up the discovery of vulnerabilities in systems. AI will also speed up the development of network intrusions and the response to them. To stay ahead of adversaries who have already begun to deploy AI, security teams must understand not only the threats AI poses, but also the opportunities it promises to improve.

In 2024, organizations should focus on three areas where AI has the potential to transform cybersecurity:

In 2024, AI will increase the scale and paraguay mobile database of social engineering attacks by creating highly convincing phishing baits in just a few moments. Cybercriminals will use AI to create personalized phishing messages using data from social media and hacked email accounts. These sophisticated baits will be difficult to detect even for trained employees.

Furthermore, generative AI will turn cybercriminals into better scammers. AI will help attackers create well-written, convincing phishing emails and websites in multiple languages, allowing them to expand their campaigns across multiple geographies. We expect the quality of social engineering attacks to improve, and the lures to be harder to detect for both target groups and security services. As a result, we may see an increase in the risks and harm associated with social engineering, from fraud to network intrusions.
