AI and Cybercrime: Europol’s New Warning and Global Threats - Ep 142

Reimagining Cyber - real world perspectives on cybersecurity

In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, we dive into Europol’s latest report, The Changing DNA of Serious and Organised Crime, which highlights how AI is accelerating cybercrime and global information warfare. Rob Aragao, breaks down the report’s key findings, including AI-driven fraud, deepfake scams, and automated cybercrime operations.

We also explore the broader implications of AI in shaping misinformation campaigns, with major players like China, Russia, and Iran investing billions in disinformation efforts. As law enforcement agencies struggle to keep up, we discuss the challenges of combating AI-powered threats and what this means for cybersecurity on a global scale.

Rob also touches on how The U.S. is facing challenges in defending against AI-driven disinformation, as key institutions are shut down. This reduction in information validation and support makes it harder to track and counter adversarial efforts.
