The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) cautions that artificial intelligence (AI) progress, particularly generative AI tools, will elevate the sophistication of scam emails. The NCSC warns that identifying phishing attempts or fake password reset requests will become challenging for users due to the capabilities of AI, increasing cyber-attack volumes. The report highlights the potential rise in ransomware attacks, facilitated by AI's lower barriers for cybercriminals. While acknowledging AI's defensive capabilities, the NCSC emphasizes the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures. The UK government introduces guidelines for businesses to strengthen resilience against ransomware threats.
