AI in the Hands of Fraudsters: How Cyber Attacks Are Changing

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the world of cybercrime. Fraudsters can now create highly convincing emails, fake messages and even deepfake calls designed to manipulate human emotions. How serious is this threat and how can we protect ourselves?

Cybersecurity is no longer a topic reserved for IT specialists. It has become an everyday concern for companies and individuals alike. With the rise of artificial intelligence, attacks are becoming faster, more precise and far more sophisticated psychologically. Instead of relying only on technical vulnerabilities, attackers increasingly target people and their emotions. Fear, urgency and trust often prove stronger than technology itself.

In its latest issue, the weekly magazine Echo looks at how AI is reshaping cybercrime and why it is increasingly becoming a tool for attackers. The article also features a survey of security experts, including Vladimír Borský, Head of the Competence Development Center at NEWTON University.

At NEWTON Today, we bring a short summary and invite you to read the full article and the expert survey.
