Trend Micro Inc. warns of the potential dangers of generative AI (GenAI) in the cyberthreat landscape, as it could lead to a rise in sophisticated social engineering tactics and identity theft. The availability and improved quality of GenAI could enable the creation of hyper-realistic audio and video content, making it difficult to detect phishing attempts. Threat actors may also use GenAI tools for malicious activities or target specialized cloud-based machine learning models.
