Just a few years ago, it seemed unthinkable: imitating voices and faces with deceptive realism to deceive people or entire companies. Today, it’s reality.
Artificial intelligence (AI), once developed for innovation and efficiency, has become a weapon in the hands of cybercriminals.
2024 marks the turning point. AI-based attacks are no longer isolated incidents—they’re a highly profitable business model. Deepfakes, perfectly generated phishing emails, and sophisticated social engineering attacks threaten companies of all sizes.
AI fraud explained: How attackers operate
AI fraud involves using algorithms to launch highly precise, realistic-looking attacks.
Unlike traditional methods, these attacks often appear deceptively real—and are therefore particularly dangerous.
The three biggest threats:
- Deepfake calls (audio & video): Voices and faces are copied to extort payments or confidential information.
- Generated phishing: Error-free emails and SMS messages that look like genuine corporate communications.
- Social Engineering 2.0: AI creates psychological profiles based on social networks – and uses them for tailored deception attempts.
Companies in the spotlight: risks and consequences
The consequences can be dramatic: financial losses amounting to millions, damage to the company’s image, loss of customer trust and, in the worst case, threat to the company’s existence.
Protective measures: What companies must do now
- Awareness training: Employees learn to recognize deepfakes and AI attacks.
- Clear processes: Multi-stage approvals and recall rules prevent costly incorrect transfers.
- Technical protection systems: Modern AI-supported solutions detect attacks in real time.
