Google Uncovers Hackers Using AI for Zero-Day Attack

Google cybersecurity researchers said in a Monday (May 11) report that they uncovered hackers using artificial intelligence to take advantage of so-called “zero-day” flaws. The discovery is a first for the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), which also explored in the report the way AI “serves as both a sophisticated engine for adversary operations and a high-value target for attacks.” “Threat actors are leveraging AI to augment various phases of the attack lifecycle,” the report said.
