TL;DR
- AI is supercharging cyber threats, creating a new breed of reckless western hackers.
- Fake remote workers ('synthetic insiders') are attacking from the inside using AI deepfakes.
- Supply-chain weaknesses are exploited, allowing infiltration of hundreds of organisations through one compromised entity.
- The increasing sophistication of AI-powered cyber crime is raising the stakes for cyber insurance.
- A surge in ransomware hacks is deepening the divide over whether to pay ransoms, with governments considering bans on such payments.
