AI Fuels Rise in Sophisticated Cybercrime

Criminals are using AI tools like WormGPT and FraudGPT to create scam emails/texts and malicious code. AI makes cybercrime more scalable and profitable.

AI can help criminals fine-tune attacks and make scams seem more authentic by eliminating typos and awkward language.

Experts warn AI may enable more unsophisticated criminals and reduce the effort for experienced scammers.

Deepfake voices may not be widely used yet in common scams, but AI could help develop new tactics we haven't anticipated.

Consumers should remain skeptical of messages, not rush to share personal info, and watch for implausible claims. AI defense tools may help flag scams.
