Summary:
- Cybercriminals are increasingly using generative AI tools like ChatGPT to automate and scale their malicious activities, such as creating phishing emails, generating malware, and automating social engineering attacks.
- Generative AI models can be used to produce highly convincing and personalized content, making it harder for victims to detect the malicious nature of the messages or activities.
- Cybersecurity experts warn that the rise of "GhostGPT" - the use of generative AI by cybercriminals - poses a significant threat as it can enable more sophisticated and widespread cyberattacks.
