Comment on Ask HN: Is AI causing companies/individuals to rethink their security?

Comments

If your security posture is mostly filled with current best practices then AI hacks aren't anymore scary than regular hacks.

Phishing is by far the number one way we have been hacked in the past. Education, MFA and soon passwordless logins are the best way to prevent phishing. If your CEO calls you and asks for your network credentials, DON'T DO IT!!! It doesn't matter that it sounds a lot like them.

For personal use devices, we are are already required to install some "endpoint protection" app if we want to access company resources. I don't do it simply so I don't have to and I get to say I don't have access to email outside of work hours.

AI hacks are not any more sophisticated than regular hacks; it's more like the level of technical sophistication has been lowered to make use of them. This is constantly happening anyway, as hacks are integrated into commodity pen testing frameworks.
