The ICO say:
“Cyber criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out attacks that are faster, more advanced and harder to detect. From AI-generated phishing emails that impersonate trusted contacts, to automated tools that scan for and exploit software vulnerabilities, the threat landscape is evolving rapidly.
With this scale and sophistication, cyber security must be a shared responsibility across every part of the economy. As the data protection regulator, we can provide clear expectations and practical support, but all organisations must take proactive steps to prepare themselves for emerging threats.”
