Recent reports indicate that Iranian state-sponsored cyber groups are increasingly incorporating generative artificial intelligence tools, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, into their digital operations. These actors are utilizing large language models to automate and enhance various stages of cyberattacks, such as drafting more convincing phishing emails and translating malicious content into multiple languages.
By leveraging these platforms, threat actors can improve the efficiency of their social engineering campaigns and more effectively target specific individuals and organizations. Beyond communication, these groups are using AI to assist with technical tasks such as debugging malicious code, researching software vulnerabilities, and gathering intelligence on potential victims.
