Welcome to 2025, where even hackers have personal AIs — and yours might be helping them.
Wait, What Do You Mean "AI Is in the Attack"?
According to a legal analysis from Mayer Brown, roughly 16% of all reported cyber incidents now involve some form of AI — from deepfake impersonations to LLM-assisted phishing and AI-generated malware.
Every week brings new examples:
- A CFO wires $25 million to a scammer after a deepfake video call impersonates his boss
- Job seekers get fake AI-generated recruiter videos offering remote positions that lead to identity theft
- AI-written phishing emails are near-perfect — polite, typo-free, and creepily personal
- Ransomware gangs use AI models to find valuable data faster before encrypting it
We've entered the age of AI-assisted crime-as-a-service, and it's getting disturbingly user-friendly.
