How threat actors are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to conduct sophisticated attacks

Global threat assessment by Deloitte Cyber Threat Intelligence

Threat actors are automating reconnaissance and launching customized phishing attacks to deploy malware, such as information stealers, that place organizations across industries at risk of cyber-attack.

Generative AI is a rapidly advancing technology that has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including healthcare, media, and cybersecurity. This technology is capable of producing content based on what it "learns" through automation and pattern recognition. While Generative AI has many positive applications, it also poses a significant threat in the realm of cybersecurity. Threat actors can use Generative AI to conduct sophisticated phishing and social engineering attempts, as well as corrupt existing tools through data poisoning and adversarial imaging.

This though leadership report details the known campaigns where threat actors leveraged AI technology to conduct the attack, known attack vectors, and Deloitte Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) observations, as well as provides recommended actions for helping prevent an AI-based attack.

This whitepaper outlines the following:

  • In-depth analysis on how threat actors are utilizing AI technology to carry out evasive attacks.
