Web. This shift from traditional ransomware extortion to a more aggressive and fear-driven method is designed to increase pressure on victims to comply with ransom demands. The group, which primarily targets industries such as education, recreation, and finance, exploits compromised VPN credentials to infiltrate networks and encrypt data. The new tactic exposes not only the stolen data but also IP addresses, potentially increasing follow-up attacks and regulatory risks for victims.</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-294769" class="post-294769 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-ict tag-advanced-ai-in-cybersecurity tag-ai-cybersecurity tag-ai-security-tools tag-ai-driven-fraud tag-cyber-risk-management tag-cyber-threats tag-cybersecurity-strategies tag-deepfake-technology tag-machine-learning-threats tag-proactive-cybersecurity tag-security-vulnerabilities tag-trend-micro tag-user-exposure"> <div class="post-item post-grid"> <div class="post-item-image"> </div> <div class="post-item-content"> <div class="entry-cat"> <ul class="post-categories"> <li><a href="https://africabusiness.com/category/ict/" rel="category tag">Tech</a></li></ul> </div> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://africabusiness.com/2025/03/19/ai-has-unleashed-unprecedented-cyber-threats-requiring-a-new-approach-to-cybersecurity/" rel="bookmark">AI has unleashed unprecedented cyber threats, requiring a new approach to cybersecurity</a></h2> <ul class="entry-meta"> <li class="post-author"> <a href="https://africabusiness.com/author/admin/"><span class="far fa-user"></span>Africa Business</a></li> <li class="post-date"> <span class="far fa-calendar-alt"></span>March 19, 2025</li> <li class="post-comment"> <span class="far fa-comment"></span>0</li> </ul> <div class="post-content"> <p>AI and machine learning are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, introducing new threats like deepfakes and AI-driven fraud.
