In the ever-expanding realm of artificial intelligence (AI), a darker side has emerged. Cybercriminals have become increasingly sophisticated in harnessing this technology for nefarious purposes. They exploit the .AI domain to impersonate trusted brands, unleashing phishing attacks and engaging in malicious activities. The 2023 Domain Security Report highlights this alarming trend. Shockingly, approximately 1,000 of the world's leading Forbes Global companies lack control over their branded .AI domain names. This report from CSC brings to light the paradox of AI's transformative power. While AI technology is celebrated for its incredible potential, it is also ripe for exploitation. The number of domain dispute cases concerning AI extensions has surged in 2023. Criminals are brazenly misappropriating .AI domains using established brand names. #Cybersecurity #AIAttacks #DomainSecurity #Cybercrime #AIInfiltration
