Researchers from Unit42_Intel have identified a growing trend in which cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) platforms to enhance the scale, effectiveness, and stealth of their attacks. One notable threat involves the use of fake AI image generators, particularly those advertised on Facebook, which have been linked to the distribution of a new infostealer malware called "Noodlophile." This malware exploits fabricated AI tools to infiltrate users' systems and steal sensitive information. Experts have also raised concerns about the emergence of real-time deepfake technology, such as Deep Live Cam, which allows individuals to impersonate celebrities, CEOs, or others in live video streams using just a single photo. Additionally, there are warnings from cybersecurity authorities, including the Cyber Police, about the potential theft of biometric data through AI-generated images. The evolving use of AI in cyberattacks highlights the increasing sophistication of social engineering tactics and the growing risks to personal data privacy and security across global digital platforms.
