AI-Powered Cyberattacks: North Korean Hackers Target South Korea

The use of AI is creating new avenues for cyberattacks. North Korean hackers employed ChatGPT to generate a fake South Korean military ID, which was then used to launch phishing attacks. This deepfake ID enabled the hackers to bypass security measures, allowing them to send malicious emails. The Kimsuky hacker group is believed to be behind the attack, known for its cyber espionage activities. The emails contained AI-generated images and attachments designed to install malware and steal data.
