Srsly Risky Biz: Ransomware uses AI to amp up negotiations
About this episode
Tom Uren and James Wilson discuss how ransomware groups are leveraging AI for negotiations and the implications of unpatched vulnerabilities.
Tom Uren and James Wilson talk about different ways ransomware groups are taking advantage of AI. The relatively new FulcrumSec group uses simple techniques to breach companies and then uses AI to get more leverage over victims in its extortion negotiations. They also discuss the ever so many bugs being patched. This is good for organisations that patch, but it will leave a very long tail of unpatched vulnerabilities.
