FBI Warns of Cybercriminals Using Generative AI to Launch Phishing Attacks
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns that threat actors are increasingly using generative AI to increase the persuasiveness of social engineering attacks. Criminals are using these tools to generate convincing text, images, and voice audio to impersonate individuals and companies. “Generative AI reduces the time and effort criminals must expend to deceive their targets,” the FBI says.
