Google Warns AI Enables More Sophisticated Cybercrime

Google's Threat Intelligence Group released a report in late 2025 documenting growing adversary use of AI for cybercrime, including hyper-personalized phishing, AI-written malware, and model-extraction attempts. The report cites LLMs for OSINT, targeted social engineering, jailbreak services, and intellectual-property theft, and Chainalysis found AI-enabled crimes steal 4.5× more value. Organizations are urged to adopt AI-aware defenses, updated training, and agent oversight.
