Voice phishing attacks surge as criminals exploit artificial intelligence
Cyber attacks using artificial intelligence and voice phishing are increasing significantly, with criminals using AI to impersonate business contacts.
Cyber attacks using artificial intelligence are rising sharply, according to research from Microsoft and other security experts. Voice phishing attacks, where hackers use AI to impersonate business contacts, are becoming more common as criminals exploit the technology to gain information or access to services. Microsoft's digital defence report found that more than a quarter, 27%, of cyber threat activity targeted government agencies or services. An INTERPOL executive warned that AI is making existing cyber threats faster and harder to detect. CBS News reports that cyber scams have targeted Americans widely, with criminals using AI to engage in fraud more easily.
