How Digital Assistants Change Social Engineering
Digital assistants are increasingly trusted to act on users' behalf, creating new opportunities for attackers to manipulate these systems for social engineering purposes. As these tools gain capability and influence over user decisions, adversaries can exploit their trusted status to deceive or compromise target organizations and individuals.
Why it matters: Security teams and users must recognize that artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assistants can be weaponized as attack surfaces; defenders need to implement controls around assistant permissions, verify unusual requests, and educate users on manipulation tactics targeting these intermediaries.
