A Security business has issued a caution about the fall of highly personalized, AI-powered digital risks that could substantially increase scams, phishing, and influencing procedures in 2025 and beyond.
” As relational AI becomes more integrated into corporations and society, we may stay vigilant. In order to overcome hyper-personalized assaults and AI usurpation, industry-wide partnership is required. Business leaders should know that computer risks are no longer independent concerns, they are business risks with far-reaching proper implications”, said Ian Felipe, state manager at Trend Micro Philippines.
In the 2025 predictions report from Trend Micro, it was noted that malicious “digital twins” are emerging where personal data that has been compromised or leaked is used to train large language models ( LLMs) to imitate people’s knowledge, personality, and writing styles. These AI-powered tools, combined with affected biometric data and algorithmic video/audio, could lead to identity fraud, imitation, and focused social engineering attacks.
Deepfake technology and AI will help large-scale, hyper-personalized cyberattacks, including increased business email compromise and “fake employee” scams, targeted fiscal scams, including “pig butchering” frauds, AI-driven romance scams that manipulate victims before passing them to human operators, improved open-source intelligence gathering for adversaries, and large-scale disinformation campaigns using fake social media personas.
Additionally, as more and more companies adopt AI, they must prepare for new security issues, such as an AI agent being hijacked to hack or spoof enterprise systems, as well as unexpected data leaks from relational Artificial tools and Iot resource consumption that causes denial-of-service attacks.
Memory corruption flaws, API flaws, box escapes, and XSS and SQL injections are different pressing cybersecurity threats. Cryptocriminals will develop strategies to defy terminal monitoring and answer equipment.
Cyber threats
To overcome these escalating risks, Trend Micro recommends businesses take a strategic, risk-based strategy to cybersecurity. Additionally, it recommends using AI for risk intelligence, asset management, and assault path prediction, as well as implementing centralized danger identification and mitigation strategies.
Additionally, the company advised businesses to improve employee training to recognize and respond to cyberattacks involving AI and to implement multi-layered threats against AI-based challenges.
Additionally, it advised the company to improve sandboxing, tight data validation, and protection against fast injection attacks, ensure supply chain security, apply multi-layered network defenses, and maintain visibility into AI-driven security risks and attack paths. / KOC
