APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN COMPUTER ATTACKS AND THEIR COUNTERACTION: ADVANCED PHISHING, DEEPFAKE MANAGERS, AND AUTOMATED OSINT

Kim Artur Sergeevich, Krepak Ivan Pavlovich

This scientific article is devoted to the analysis of the transformation of information security threats and information protection mechanisms under the influence of modern artificial intelligence technologies. The paper examines key areas of artificial intelligence application in offensive scenarios—from complex phishing with personalized social engineering attacks to deepfake managers capable of impersonating individuals in real time, as well as automated OSINT that accelerates the collection and correlation of target-related data. Defensive applications of artificial intelligence are also considered, including intelligent anomaly detection, countering deepfake content, behavioral authentication, and automated incident response. Special attention is paid to the asymmetry between attackers and victims, ethical and legal risks, and practical recommendations for actively countering AI-enhanced attacks.
