Instead of exploiting systems, attackers are:
- Impersonating IT helpdesk via Teams/Slack
- Calling employees directly (vishing)
- Sending extremely realistic AI-generated messages
And employees end up giving access themselves.
So technically… they're not hacking anymore. They're logging in through trust.
What's concerning is:
- These attacks look completely normal
- They bypass most traditional security tools
- By the time something is flagged, it's already too late
Feels like the real attack surface now is: 👉 Identity 👉 Behavior 👉 Internal communication
Curious what others think:
- Are traditional security systems becoming outdated?
- Is AI-driven security actually solving this, or just another buzzword?
- Anyone seen this happen firsthand?
Would love to hear real experiences or different perspectives.
