Cybersecurity Stocks: Hackers Use Artificial Intelligence for a New Type of Security Breach

October is quite the busy month. Not only is it the start of the fourth quarter and the third-quarter earnings season, but October is also Cybersecurity Awareness Month. So, today I'd like to raise some awareness on a new type of cybersecurity breach. During the coronavirus pandemic, cybercrime has risen by over 600%, and now the malicious hackers are becoming more creative by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to evade detection. For example, with AI, hackers are now using data poisoning to target data used to train the machine learning systems.
