☆ The cybercrime underworld has removed all the guardrails on the AI frontier, but the good guys are catching them there

More than half (55%) of all brand impersonation instances consisted of organizations' own brands in 2023, according to the Perception Point report. Tal Zamir, chief technology officer at Perception Point, discussed how criminals can now create polymorphic malware (or malware with many variations) at scale using AI and automation. Plus, they can defend against a wider swath of problems by feeding data into their existing models or generating new data sets using AI. Still, Grobman compares AI detection to weather forecasting, saying "When you're working in the world of AI, things are a lot less deterministic." Just as legitimate businesses are looking to AI to be more productive and more effective, so too are cybercriminals.

Yet, the nearly $300 million fine against a massive transnational robocalling operation by the Federal Communications Commission shows just how widespread this issue has become. This is called an interactive voice response (IVR) and it's used in a type of spam called voice phishing or "vishing." According to McAfee's CTO Steve Grobman, these types of calls are bound to remain less likely than other, more obvious spam calls, at least for the time being.

As soon as he heard his dad's voice, Eddie, a 19-year-old TikToker, knew something was up. But with AI, the voice on the other end of the phone can now sound eerily like the real deal. Plus, more people are making their real voice available to scammers: McAfee said 53% of adults shared their voice data online weekly. McAfee also found that over one-third of victims lost more than $1,000 in AI scams, with 7% losing more than $5,000. Then, the scammer can just type out whatever they want, and the AI voice will speak what is typed in real time.
