Threat actors are increasingly bypassing malware-based intrusion and instead calling help desks to talk their way into organizations, using artificial intelligence to make these approaches more convincing. The article, a Dark Reading piece on trust exploitation and fraud, frames this as a shift from technical exploitation to abuse of human and process trust. The excerpt provided names no specific actors, victims, tools or campaigns, so scope and impact cannot be assessed from it.
