Cybercriminals Are Making Powerful Hacking Tools With AI, Google Warns
Google has warned that cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to develop sophisticated hacking tools, including zero-day exploits that target previously unknown software vulnerabilities. Researchers observed AI-generated code with characteristics typical of machine learning, such as structured Python and detailed help menus, and even instances of AI hallucination. This trend signifies a shift towards AI-assisted cybercrime, where complex tasks that once required extensive experience can now be performed rapidly, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for malicious actors.
