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  • Are traditional security systems becoming outdated?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.
