Cyberattacks

Cyberattacks exploit system vulnerabilities, malware, social engineering and ransomware to steal data or assets or disrupt operations. Recent incidents show that generative AI is being used for HalluSquatting, vulnerability exploitation and attack preparation, with supply chains, financial institutions, governments and ordinary users all becoming targets. Malware such as Vidar and XMRig also continues to spread through cracked software. As attacks become more automated and the risks of personal data breaches and operational disruption grow, advances in AI-powered cyber defenses by regulators and businesses warrant close attention.
