Hey there, it's Dina.
When we look back at Cyber in 2024, it was the year of two big things, law enforcement takedowns and the advent of AI.
From robocalls to deepfakes, artificial intelligence is already playing a role in the 2024 election.
A finance worker in Hong Kong was duped into handing over millions of dollars after being tricked by deepfake technology.
Russia is increasingly carrying out a hidden war, targeting Europe and the UK with cyberattacks.
Even with all this activity, we only saw the faintest indication of how AI might really be weaponized in the future.
Which is why we thought you'd love to hear this episode from our friends over at the Shift podcast.
They're all about breakthroughs in frontier technologies and artificial intelligence and they recently did a deep dive on how AI is enabling cybercrime.
Stay with us.

This is FBI Director Christopher Wray has been warning for some time about how AI will enable cyber criminals to up their game.
Right now where it's most dangerous is essentially taking junior varsity bad actors and bringing them to the varsity level.
But in fairly short order we're going to be seeing AI taking the varsity level athletes and taking them to a whole nother level of dangerousness.
And that has required people who are fighting these criminals, like Lee Clearidge, to keep upping their game in response.
Lee is the Chief Product Officer at Palo Alto Networks and he was part of the team back in 2008 that built the industry's first next generation firewall.
