Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as the double-edged sword of the cyber threat environment. Sophisticated AI models now serve as both potent tools for attackers and vulnerable hinge points for organizations girding against intrusions.
AI deepfakes were used to contact three foreign ministers, a US Governor, and a member of Congress around the middle of June via the Signal messaging app. Two of the officials received fake voicemail messages mocked up to use Rubio's voice, and another received an invite to join a chat.
In a high-stakes chess match, the grandmaster doesn’t win by brute force; they win by observing, anticipating, and exploiting small weaknesses in their opponent’s position. Every move is part of a strategy. This is exactly how cybercriminals operate today.
See AI as a colleague, collaborator, and mentor. We can leverage the capabilities of AI while preserving the distinct value that we, as humans, can offer. We can co-create. And learn to co-exist.
The new guidance actually focuses on three main areas of AI data security: data drift and potentially poisoned data, and also risks in the data supply chain. The guidance builds upon the NSA’s existing Deploying AI Systems Securely publication, but adds much more detail specific to addressing potential vulnerabilities.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns about AI-generated phishing text or deepfake audio messages impersonating senior U.S. officials targeting current and former state and federal officials and their contacts.
The malware that the researchers were able to coax out of DeepSeek was rudimentary and required some manual code editing to make it functional. But the incident demonstrates that the guardrails preventing malicious behavior in generative AI systems remain thin.
The "day-to-day" of organized crimes is increasingly being moved online and optimized with AI-powered tools: things like communication, payments to partners, and recruitment of new operatives.
A security breach affecting the AI aggregator platform OmniGPT has leaked the sensitive information of 30,000 individuals including API keys, chat logs, and uploaded files.
Google Threat Intelligence Group has identified state-sponsored hackers from over a dozen countries abusing Gemini AI for cyber attacks with Iran and China being the heaviest users.
