Check Point Research has released its first AI Security Report, revealing the proliferation of AI-driven cybercrime and offering guidance for organizations to combat these emerging threats. The report highlights how cyber criminals are utilizing artificial intelligence to manipulate digital identities and carry out sophisticated attacks.

Key Threats Identified

  1. AI-Enhanced Impersonation and Social Engineering: Attackers are using AI to generate realistic phishing emails, audio impersonations, and deepfake videos, making it increasingly difficult to discern authentic communications. A notable case involved the impersonation of Italy’s defense minister using AI-generated audio.
  2. LLM Data Poisoning and Disinformation: Cyber threats also involve the manipulation of AI training data. For example, AI chatbots linked to Russia’s disinformation network were found to repeat false narratives 33% of the time, emphasizing the need for data integrity in AI systems.
  3. AI-Created Malware and Data Mining: Cyber criminals are leveraging AI to create and optimize malware and automate attacks such as DDoS campaigns. Services like Gabbers Shop validate and clean stolen data to enhance its resale value.
  4. Weaponization of AI Models: Attackers are now using stolen large language model accounts and creating custom Dark LLMs, commercializing AI for hacking and fraud on the dark web.

Organizations must adopt AI-aware cyber security frameworks, including AI-assisted detection, enhanced identity verification, and threat intelligence tailored to AI-driven tactics.
