Security News > 2023 > November > Google Cloud’s Cybersecurity Trends to Watch in 2024 Include Generative AI-Based Attacks
What will cybersecurity look like in 2024? Google Cloud's global Cybersecurity Forecast found that generative AI can help attackers and defenders and urged security personnel to look out for nation-state backed attacks and more.
Threat actors will use generative AI and large language models in phishing and other social engineering scams, Google Cloud predicted.
Attackers could use generative AI to create fake news or fake content, Google Cloudwarned.
LLMs and generative AI "Will be increasingly offered in underground forums as a paid service, and used for various purposes such as phishing campaigns and spreading disinformation," Google Cloud wrote.
Some of the trends Google Cloud highlighted show that well-known types of cyberattacks should still be on security teams' radar.
Google Cloud has seen a rising interest among attackers in supply chain attacks hosted on package managers such as NPM, PyPI and crates.io.
