The boy who cried wolf goes back to a fable where a shepherd boy mocked the other villagers by telling them that a wolf was attacking the flock. The villagers believed him at first, but he was just laughing with them.

Attackers have made a decisive switch toward stealthy, identity-centric attacks. Forget breaking in – modern cybercriminals simply log in. And that should be a concern.

This difficult-to-intercept form of fraud alone accounted for $2.95 billion of those losses.

By now we’re all familiar with the capabilities of generative AI for creating images. For some tasks, like casting an existing image in a recognizable art style, it works well.
