What we hear less: how it's quickly becoming a powerful weapon in the arsenal of cybercriminals. Specifically, AI gets used more and more to accelerate common cybersecurity threats such as phishing and social engineering attacks.
While we always have to watch for more techniques and tools becoming available to cybercriminals, what worries me more about this phenomenon is how it's fueling the dark web.
