In came Trump, kind of tossed the tables over, and we saw that resume.
And when it resumed, it resumed in a much more sophisticated, well-organized, stealthy way.
And so in retrospect, all of that naming and shaming that made them stop actually, I think, just sent them further underground.
So there is a legitimate question to say, what is the long-term benefit, really, of calling out these operations?
I think we have to.
China's hacking of critical infrastructure being one of them.
I mean, I think it would be a bizarre world if we were catching these Chinese nation-state hackers inside our civilian water systems and for whatever reason saying, oh, it's just not worth attributing it to China.
But Dimitri has a great point, which is...
We are sort of becoming numb to this, and there's been so little action, and there is really no deterrence.
AI in the beginning, you know, it's a really useful social engineering tool.
You know, find me a useful target, craft a message in perfect English.
In some cases, create an audio deepfake of someone's voice that this person legitimately knows, like a CFO of a major enterprise and ask them to basically, you know,
ask someone in their accounting department to make a wire transfer.
All of those things are things that we are seeing.
And we are seeing video deepfakes too.
We're seeing North Koreans use deepfakes in some of these interviews.
Now we're entering a new phase, which is
AI is giving hackers this tremendous advantage to pull off everything I just mentioned at scale.
It's also giving them the skills that they previously didn't have, that previously were just the purview of these tier one nation states like NSA, you know, US's NSA and GCHQ.
Israel, China, perhaps Russia, perhaps it's throwing those skills in the laps of cyber criminals of these tier three nation states like North Korea, like Iran.
