Two-Thirds of Ransomware Victims Say AI Boosted Attack Effectiveness

A recent study of ransomware victims found that approximately two-thirds reported artificial intelligence (AI) tools increased the effectiveness of attacks against their organizations. The finding suggests that adversaries are leveraging AI capabilities to overcome defensive measures.

Why it matters: Security defenders need to assume ransomware attackers now use AI to enhance targeting, exploitation, and payload delivery; organizations should review detection and response capabilities for AI-assisted attack patterns.
