Cybercriminals employ artificial intelligence to create complex email threats like phishing and business email compromise attacks, while modern email security systems use AI to counter these attacks, according to Perception Point and Osterman Research. Cybercriminals have shown rapid adoption of AI tools to their favor with 91.1% of organizations reporting that they have already encountered email attacks that have been enhanced by AI, and 84.3% expecting that AI will continue to be utilized to circumvent existing security systems.
The FBI is warning of a new tactic used by cybercriminals where they promote malicious "Beta" versions of cryptocurrency investment apps on popular mobile app stores that are then used to steal crypto. The threat actors submit the malicious apps to the mobile app stores as "Betas," meaning that they are in an early development phase and are meant to be used by tech enthusiasts or fans to test and submit feedback to developers before the software is officially released.
Threat actors are leveraging a technique called versioning to evade Google Play Store's malware detections and target Android users. Earlier this May, ESET discovered a screen recording app named "iRecorder - Screen Recorder" that remained innocuous for nearly a year after it was first uploaded to the Play Store before malicious changes were introduced sneakily to spy on its users.

Many still lack the necessary tools to investigate the security and organizational impact of these infections and effectively mitigate follow-on attacks - with 98% indicating better visibility into at-risk applications would significantly improve their security posture.
