Your phone, computer and tablet is now at risk, as the nightmare of AI-powered attacks comes true. There are now multiple warnings into the use of mainstream AI platforms to design, develop and even execute attacks that are almost impossible to detect.

To add to recent reports from Symantec and CofenseGuardio also now warns that “with the rise of Generative AI, even total beginners can now launch sophisticated phishing scams — no coding skills needed. Just a few prompts and a few minutes.”

And Microsoft has just told users the same. “AI has started to lower the technical bar for fraud and cybercrime actors looking for their own productivity tools, making it easier and cheaper to generate believable content for cyberattacks at an increasingly rapid rate… AI-powered fraud attacks are happening globally.”
