Back to the Hype: An Update on How Cybercriminals Are Using GenAI
In August 2023, we published an article detailing how criminals were using or planning to use generative AI (GenAI) capabilities to help develop, spread, and improve their attacks. Given the fast-paced nature of AI evolution, we decided to circle back and see if there have been developments worth sharing since then. Eight months might seem short, but in the fast-growing world of AI, this period is an eternity.
Compared to eight months ago, our conclusions have not changed: While criminals are still taking advantage of the possibilities that ChatGPT and other LLMs offer, we remain skeptical of the advanced AI-powered malware scenarios that several media outlets seemed to dread back then. We want to explore the matter further and pick apart the details that make this a fascinating topic.
We also want to address pertinent questions on the matter. Have there been any new criminal LLMs beyond those reported last year? Are criminals offering ChatGPT-like capabilities in hacking software? How are deepfakes being offered on criminal sites?
In sum, however, criminals are still lagging behind on AI adoption. We discuss our observations and findings in the following sections. — Read More
Anduril Reveals ‘Pulsar’ family of AI-Learning Electronic Warfare Systems
On May 6, the defense company Anduril Industries revealed it had secretly developed a family of AI-enhanced electronic warfare systems called Pulsar already in operational use on multiple continents for —including two combat zones and with clients including the U.S. military.
… Pulsar is described as leveraging AI to recognize and adapt to never-before-seen threats, a traditional Achilles heel of AI. Like the Borg in Star Trek, it’s intended to rapidly identify and analyze unfamiliar threats (anomalous signals) and harness AI to rapidly devise a countermeasure. The resulting new threat data and countermeasures are then distributed across the network of Pulsar systems. — Read More
