Australia's cybersecurity agency warns AI is driving "unprecedented" attacks
The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) warned that artificial intelligence is an "unprecedented" threat and that foreign governments use it to hack computer networks and critical infrastructure. According to its annual report, AI has allowed malicious actors to find vulnerabilities faster and exploit them at greater scale, speed and sophistication. The agency issued more than 4,400 warnings about potentially malicious activity over the past year, an 80% increase over the previous 12 months, and pointed to attacks by hackers linked to China, Russia and North Korea.
