AI is becoming the new co-pilot for cybercriminals
Gambit Security investigated three real-world attacks in which cybercriminals used AI for scripts, exploit tools, DevOps tasks, and interactive attacks.
AI not only appears to accelerate attacks, but can also determine which corporate data and systems are most critical to a victim.
In one attack, AI even mapped out backups, restore points, and recovery processes, making the step from data theft to sabotage dangerously small. For example, during an attack, AI unintentionally caused a malfunction on a compromised firewall, demonstrating that autonomous AI can cause damage even without explicit intent.
The message: AI is evolving from a tool into an active participant in the entire attack chain, and defense strategies must be adapted accordingly.
