One would imagine that the more data that users provide in their replies, the more convincing the counter-responses can be, too. GTIG says that information collected about financial, internal security, and human resources departments generally makes for the best phishing bait — all expertly cooked to best suit each targeted individual.
Surprising absolutely nobody, GTIG also noticed large-scale operations across a multitude of countries using AI for political purposes. The predictable tactics are generating fake images and videos, but bot usage is becoming more subtle and yet more effective. It's now become easy to generate believable voiceovers or replace just a few words and facial expressions in real video in order to push forward a particular message. Interspersing real footage with fake content for added believability has become a common theme as well.
The GTIG report is long, informative, and goes in-depth about all of the aforementioned topics, plus a few more. It's worth a read, perhaps with your alcoholic beverage of choice by your side.

Blastomonas The demise of human civilization continues at pace. I wonder when we will lose faith in our technology. Reply
Terry Lambert One would think that if it were so good at finding coding flaws in things like login system systems, that when you used it to write code, it would write flawless code, instead of flawed code. Yet it’s still pretty lousy at writing code for a purpose other than exploiting other people’s flawed code. You would think that it would see and avoid flaws in its own code. Apparently introspection is beyond it. Reply
