Cybercriminals may use agentic AI to carry out simultaneous ransomware attacks, craft sophisticated phishing campaigns, and even breach networks autonomously.
Agentic AI represents a leap beyond generative tools, giving defenders the ability to automate time-intensive tasks like network monitoring, patching vulnerabilities, and identifying threats.
While generative AI tools like ChatGPT have made minor waves since their debut, their capabilities have largely been limited to assisting with coding and research tasks.
Cybercriminals are using AI to craft emails that mimic messages from Apple, financial institutions, or workplace IT teams.
Cybercriminals are upping their game in 2025 with smarter AI and stealthier ransomware targeting Mac users, leaving defenders scrambling to keep up.
