New research from TrendAI reveals that cybercrime groups are increasingly using artificial intelligence to automate fraud, ransomware, and intrusion campaigns. According to the report, prepared with the participation of 48 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) from global financial institutions, attackers are no longer just stealing data. Instead, they are actively using AI to increase the speed, scale, and complexity of their attacks.
The report notes that 89 percent of institutions reported a year-over-year increase in AI-powered attacks. Furthermore, attackers are seen interfering with defense teams during live security investigations, undermining incident response processes. Cybercrime groups are using autonomous AI agents capable of executing multiple attack phases simultaneously without requiring human intervention.
TrendAI researchers detected an increase in the use of steganography techniques, where malicious commands are hidden inside innocuous images. This makes it easier for malware to bypass traditional firewalls. The report emphasizes that financial institutions must move away from a reactive security mindset and transition to AI-powered proactive defense strategies.
