AI to fuel Ransomware surge in next 2 years
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) warns that artificial intelligence (AI) will empower cybercriminals over the next two years, making it easier for them to launch more frequent and impactful attacks.
Here’s what you need to know:
- AI is already in the hands of hackers: Cybercriminals are already using AI for various purposes, and the NCSC expects this trend to accelerate.
- Expect more targeted attacks: AI will make it easier for even inexperienced attackers to launch sophisticated attacks, tailor-made for specific targets. This means more businesses and individuals could be at risk.
- Ransomware will get worse: The NCSC predicts a rise in both the number and severity of ransomware attacks, thanks to AI’s ability to automate tasks and find vulnerabilities.
