AI cyber, what?? Crime?

Based on this post from Anthropic.

AI company Anthropic has released a new threat intelligence report detailing how cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors are actively misusing its AI model, Claude, for malicious purposes. The report reveals that AI is now being used not just to plan but to actively execute attacks, lowering the technical barrier for complex crimes and allowing criminals to embed AI into every stage of their operations.

Specific cases include a large-scale data extortion operation orchestrated by AI, North Korean operatives using AI to fraudulently gain US tech jobs, and a low-skilled criminal developing and selling advanced ransomware. In response, Anthropic is banning these users, improving its automated detection systems, and sharing its findings to help combat this new phase of AI-assisted crime.
