How are cybercriminals using AI for identity theft?

They employ self-modifying malware and sophisticated social engineering techniques to deceive individuals and bypass cyber-defense systems, making their attacks more strategic and effective.

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s 2024 report, victim notices surged by 312%, rising from 419 million notices in 2023 to approximately 1.73 billion in 2024. The financial services sector experienced the highest number of breaches, followed by healthcare, professional services, manufacturing, and technology.
What preventive measures can individuals take against identity theft?
To mitigate identity theft risks, individuals and businesses should implement multifactor authentication, use strong passwords, regularly review credit ratings and bank statements, and maintain a resilience strategy for potential breaches. Additionally, employing dedicated devices for financial transactions and utilizing encryption for sensitive data can enhance security.
