New Report Warns Of A Rise In Ai-Generated Email Fraud And Phishing Attacks
SiliconANGLE , Tuesday, December 19,2023
A new report released today by cybersecurity company Abnormal Security Corp. is warning of a rise in artificial intelligence-generated email attacks and the rising threat presented by cyber criminals who continue to adopt AI in their everyday use.
According to the report, the accessibility of generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT has led to their misuse in creating advanced cyberthreats. The AI tools enable attackers to craft unique and sophisticated content rapidly, making it difficult for traditional security software to detect these threats.
Attackers have started using generative AI to enhance social engineering tactics. Examples include using the ChatGPT application programming interface for realistic phishing emails and creating malicious AI platforms such as WormGPT and FraudGPT, which lack ethical guardrails.
