A year-long study tracking 832 banned accounts reveals AI-enabled cyber threats are growing more dangerous. - AI is increasingly used for advanced cyber operations, making threat actors more effective. - Post-compromise techniques are now accessible to more attackers with AI assistance. - The MITRE ATT&CK framework needs adaptation to fully capture AI-enabled attack vectors.
- Malicious actors use AI to enhance cyberattacks, particularly in complex stages.
- The use of AI shifts attacks from initial access to deeper system infiltration.
- The MITRE ATT&CK framework struggles to fully catalog AI-powered attack methods.
