A new report has highlighted the emerging threat of AI-powered social engineering, where attackers use artificial intelligence and machine learning to create highly convincing and personalized phishing attacks.
The report notes that AI-powered social engineering attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, using techniques such as natural language processing and deep learning to create emails, messages, and other communications that are nearly indistinguishable from those sent by legitimate sources.
These attacks are designed to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial information, or into performing certain actions that can compromise security. The use of AI and machine learning makes these attacks highly effective, as they can be tailored to specific individuals and organizations.
The report warns that AI-powered social engineering attacks pose a significant threat to individuals and organizations, and that traditional security measures may not be sufficient to detect and prevent these attacks. As a result, it is essential for individuals and organizations to be aware of these threats and to take steps to protect themselves.
