Why Our Global Internet Infrastructure is Under Threat_ The Surge of AI-Driven Cyber Threats
from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune
Today, we're diving into a crucial topic affecting all of us—our global internet infrastructure is under threat, and a big part of that vulnerability comes from the rise of AI-driven cyber threats. As technology advances, so do the tactics of cybercriminals, and it's no longer just a game of phishing emails and malware. We’re now looking at sophisticated attacks powered by artificial intelligence that can autonomously execute every step of a cyberattack, nearly without human intervention. This marks a significant shift in how we think about cybersecurity.Let’s break this down. Just last January, a global botnet unleashed a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack, hitting a staggering 31.4 terabits per second. That’s the largest recorded DDoS attack to date. Imagine millions of devices working together to overwhelm a network, flooding it with requests so it can't respond to legitimate users. This kind of assault can take down critical services and result in massive disruptions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
