As personal data leaks resulting from unauthorised access at companies continue to occur, the security industry, citing an increase in incidents since July, has pointed to a high likelihood that AI is being misused, with moves to strengthen countermeasures expected to advance.
A succession of incidents has involved large volumes of personal data being leaked from companies through unauthorised access. According to reports, incidents have continued to increase since July this year, with the intensification of cyberattacks cited as a cause.
Security companies have indicated that they intend to strengthen countermeasures, judging that AI is highly likely to be being misused, and companies are also being pressed to reinforce their measures.
In subsequent reports, attention is expected to focus on trends in the number of specific incidents and improvements to systems for storing and handling personal data.
