AI-driven OSINT in the wrong hands - and why everyone could be a target for fraud

Cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)-powered open source intelligence (OSINT) to identify and research potential victims at lower costs and with greater ease. The article examines how these tools lower barriers to entry for fraudsters while highlighting defensive measures that remain within an organization's control.

Why it matters: Every organization faces increased risk from AI-assisted social engineering and targeting campaigns; practitioners should review their OSINT exposure and implement controls to limit attackers' ability to gather reconnaissance data.
