Hackers sponsored by state actors are leveraging LLMs (large language models) and AI tools to enhance their tactics in cyber-attacks. Microsoft and OpenAI have detected attacks from Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China, where LLMs were used to refine hacking techniques and create more credible social engineering campaigns. Hackers are also utilizing AI to gather intelligence on potential targets, automate operations, and exploit software vulnerabilities. Microsoft and OpenAI have been actively disabling accounts used by these threat actors and will continue collaborating to improve cybersecurity measures.
