【Europol Predicts Rise In AI-Driven Cybercrime】
According to Odaily, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has revealed in its annual analysis of the latest cyber threats to the EU that the number of AI-driven cybercrimes is expected to increase. In the '2024 Internet Organized Crime Threat Assessment' (IOCTA), Europol highlighted how artificial intelligence tools are enabling non-technical individuals to orchestrate complex online crimes. AI-generated deepfakes and fake advertisements are being widely used by malicious actors globally to target potential victims. The emergence of these tools is actively lowering the entry barriers for cybercrime. Consequently, Europol emphasizes the necessity of equipping tools to combat the misuse of technology and protect the EU's financial system.
