When Good AI Misbehaves – Cybercrime’s New Evil Genius

AI was supposed to help us write emails faster, automate tasks, and maybe—just maybe—prevent "Reply All" disasters. But cybercriminals had other plans. Welcome to Dark AI, where AI is helping bad actors scam, hack, and wreak havoc more efficiently than ever.

What you’ll learn
  • Malware 2.0 — AI-generated malware that evolves faster than “patch that now!”
  • Spear Phishing & AI Scams — emails so convincing even savvy users may click.
  • Vishing & Deepfakes — calls that sound like your boss (until you realize it isn’t).
  • OSINT on Steroids — AI rapidly builds profiles that make targets easier to exploit.
  • Automated Hacking — AI-assisted code manipulation lowers the barrier to attack.

Real-world cases included (some terrifying… and some absurd). Goal: stay one step ahead before the “smart” stuff starts plotting against us.
