Cybercriminals in 2022 will begin to use artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies more often to attack their victims, according to experts interviewed by Izvestia.
Artificial intelligence will help in the search for new vulnerabilities in network equipment or IT services, or by processing big data will help identify certain patterns of victim behavior.
“ In 2022 we will definitely hear about new types of attacks using AI and ML. It is still too early to talk about the full implementation of targeted attacks, however, thanks to these technologies, attacks using social engineering will become more difficult to recognize. & mdash; said Timurbulat Sultangaliev, an employee of the Digital Economy League.
At the same time, a number of cybersecurity experts believe that most cybercriminals will always prefer to use proven tools rather than looking for new methods.
“ The attackers are not as innovative as it is generally believed. Their task is not to introduce something new, but to increase the efficiency of tools that have already proven themselves', '' mdash; said Alexey Lukatsky, business consultant for information security at Cisco.
In 2022, cyber crooks will use targeted phishing schemes, attack citizens' mobile devices and services popular with them, use vulnerabilities found in software and data leaks for their own purposes.
Earlier it became known that cybercriminals have come up with a new way to take money from the gullible population.
