Managing a business on your own is challenging enough without worrying about cyberattacks. However, there is cause for alarm as hackers are using artificial intelligence, AI-powered attacks, to launch sophisticated hacks to steal your data and disrupt business operations. The good news is you can take steps to protect your business. This blog will explain how AI is used in cybercrime and how you can safeguard your business.
How hackers use AI
Here are some of the ways cybercriminals are using AI-powered attacks:
- Deepfakes: Hackers use AI to create realistic fake videos or audio recordings to impersonate someone you know, like your boss or a trusted friend. These deepfakes can be used to trick you into sending money or sharing sensitive information.
- How to spot it: Closely look for details like unnatural facial movements or sloppy voice synchronization.
- AI-powered attacks on passwords: Now, cybercriminals can effortlessly crack common and easy passwords with the help of AI-powered attacks. Hackers with access to advanced computation can automate the breaching process, so they can try millions of combinations to guess your password.
How to fight Cybercriminals
- Always use unique passwords. Consider using a password manager.
- How to stay ahead: Update your security systems and software. Establish a mandate to scan for vulnerabilities routinely.
- Supply chain attacks: Threat actors can quickly insert malicious code into legitimate vendor products, eventually compromising your system.
- How to protect yourself: Only download software from trusted sources. Always be vigilant with updates and patches.
