For more than a decade, Brett Johnson worked as a criminal hacker, stealing identities and raking in millions of dollars. Now, the reformed cybercriminal, who's worked as a consultant to the Secret Service, is warning that the next wave of digital scams will be AI-orchestrated and nearly impossible to stop.
Cybercrime is becoming more and more organized, Johnson told Business Insider. In his estimation, this means that the next wave of scams won't be conducted by individual actors, but by organized groups who are using AI to write the scams, fake the evidence, and interact with victims.
