Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has firmly embedded itself in the workplace. As of 2024, more than two-thirds of organizations in every global region have adopted GenAI. And, as always, cyber criminals are eager to capitalize on a new and potentially powerful piece of technology. Over the past few years, a GenAI tool called FraudGPT has made phishing, hacking, and identity theft as simple as entering an AI prompt. FraudGPT and similar tools are essentially democratizing cyber crime.

North Korean threat actor Kimsuky has escalated its social engineering tactics by leveraging military ID deepfakes to deceive South Korean targets. According to a recent analysis by South Korean cybersecurity firm Genians, the group is now using AI-generated images to impersonate military personnel, making phishing campaigns more convincing and harder to detect.
