AI Is A Double-Edged Sword In Phishing

Every day, on average, 56 million phishing emails are sent, and it takes just 82 seconds for a person to be victimised by such attacks. Phishing is one of the oldest yet effective forms of a cybersecurity threat. Over time it has graduated from scamming emails from a Nigerian prince to more sophisticated and sly techniques, such as Distributed Spam Distraction, polymorphic attacks, and visual similarity attack.

Artificial intelligence has played a great role in thwarting attacks of such nature. Let us look at a few such examples.

Making Sales More Efficient: Lead Qualification Using AI

If you were to ask any organization today, you would learn that they are all becoming reliant on Artificial Intelligence Solutions and using AI to digitally transform in order to bring their organizations into the new age. AI is no longer a new concept, instead, with the technological advancements that are being made in the realm of AI, it has become a much-needed business facet.

AI has become easier to use and implement than ever before, and every business is applying AI solutions to their processes. Organizations have begun to base their digital transformation strategies around AI and the way in which they conduct their business. One of these business processes that AI has helped transform is lead qualifications.

A Double-Edged Sword: Horror Stories Aside, Big Data Does More GoodThan Harm

People worried about identity or data theft need to think “big picture”

There are plenty of good ways to hide your digital footprint – from ‘incognito mode’ to using a VPN. But let’s face it, most people are not going to go through all that just for the “privacy” of not having, say, Amazon track your shopping habits or Google reading your email. Sure, some highly dedicated privacy militants are perhaps successful in drastically reducing their presence, but it’s pretty darn hard to completely avoid an “internet existence.” Even if you don’t show yourself, others can “out” you; perhaps inadvertently. You, of course, want to protect your data with the best ID theft services possible. But protection doesn’t mean forgoing the modern world of online shopping or social media. Your data is a part of big data, probably whether you like it or not. This fact isn’t, however, necessarily bad.

There have certainly been some alarming stories. Big data is defined by Oxford as, “extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions.” So, if your address, identification numbers, tax returns, educational records, medical info – which for some, include those popular DNA lineage reports – are all collated and accessible, it’s not inconceivable that your data could be hacked. Over four years ago, Forbes had a piece claiming that in the year 2016, some 400 serious data breaches occurred, targeting mass amounts of data from organizations such as a hospital, a mental-health non-profit, and the National Network of Abortion Funds, a group that may or may not be controversial depending on your vantage point. It’s pretty self-evident that hackers weren’t breaking into medical-related organizations to leave messages of support or anonymous donations.
