How are AI agents being used in phishing attacks?
AI agents, such as OpenAI's Operator, can create and send phishing emails by automating tasks that were previously manual. They can gather information about targets, draft convincing emails, and execute scripts, which makes them a valuable tool for attackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities.
What are the risks associated with AI agents?
AI agents present new avenues for exploitation, as they can perform tasks with minimal human intervention. While they can enhance productivity, their ability to automate attacks could lower the barriers for attackers, allowing them to execute complex operations like breaching networks or setting up command-and-control infrastructure.
How do AI agents gather information for attacks?
AI agents can analyze publicly available information and use deduction to find details such as email addresses. For instance, in a demonstration, an AI agent successfully identified a target's email by examining other similar addresses, showcasing its capability to gather necessary data for executing phishing attempts.
