Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of cybercrime, making sophisticated attacks more accessible and efficient for a wider range of criminals. Recent incidents, such as the cyberattacks on the Port of Seattle, illustrate the potential risks posed by AI-enhanced threats, including deepfake scams and large-scale identity thefts. As AI lowers the barriers to entry for executing complex cyber operations, healthcare professionals must prepare for an environment where these threats can manifest rapidly and impact systems critical to patient care. The vulnerability of local agencies to the scale and velocity of these attacks underscores the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in healthcare institutions.
