A Spanish-speaking cybercrime group named GXC Team has been observed bundling phishing kits with malicious Android applications, taking malware-as-a-service offerings to the next level. The phishing kit is priced anywhere between $150 and $900 a month, whereas the bundle including the phishing kit and Android malware is available on a subscription basis for about $500 per month.
The seemingly paradoxical solution to these growing threats is further development and research into more sophisticated offensive AI. Plato's adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention," is an apt characterization of cybersecurity today, where new AI-driven threats drive the innovation of more advanced security controls. While developing more sophisticated offensive AI tools and techniques is far from morally commendable, it continues to emerge as an inescapable necessity.
While sysadmins recognize AI's potential, significant gaps in education, cautious organizational adoption, and insufficient AI maturity hinder widespread implementation, leading to mixed results and disruptions in 16% of organizations, according to Action1. "Our findings indicate that, despite some trial and error in AI implementation among sysadmins, organizations generally approach AI cautiously. Implementation projects are predominantly focused on a few IT areas, and even among those that have been implemented, results are mixed. This underscores the fact that AI technology still needs time to mature and evolve before AI-driven solutions become more widespread and practical."
As AI-generated deepfake attacks and identity fraud become more prevalent, companies are developing response plans to address these threats, according to GetApp. Much like phishing attack preparation, it appears that companies are looking to run simulations of attacks to increase preparedness as a majority of respondents work in companies where this is already implemented.

How should CISOs approach AI adoption? When weighing new AI tools, CISOs must examine the risk of a few key factors. These considerations apply to all tools that may leverage AI across all business departments, not just security tools that use AI. The first is data handling practices, from collection and processing to storage and encryption, ensuring robust access controls are in place.
