AI doesn’t yet do any hacking. It is a force multiplier for both red teams and for blue teams. Red teams (hackers) can use AI to learn to program/script better or faster, or more importantly to more accurately speak in the natural language of their target (thereby building more trust). Basic security hygiene is the most important first priority for every company. Basic password reuse, unpatched applications, email/SMS phishing, false invoices, etc are the most common security issues. If a company didn’t have a handle on those things before ChatGPT, AI helps their adversaries be more efficient. There was already an issue where the value / reliability of cyber insurance was questioned, and if ChatGPT creates more successful fraud, premiums will likely continue to risk, making insurance increasingly unaffordable.
