AI Is Getting Really Good at Messing With Cybercriminals

Anti-cybercrime initiatives are deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive cybercriminals by engaging them with realistic bots posed as potential victims. These efforts aim to waste attackers' time and resources while gathering intelligence on their tactics.

Why it matters: Security teams and law enforcement can use these AI-based deception techniques to disrupt cybercriminal operations and learn attacker methodologies, reducing real harm to actual victims.
