Campaign 2018: Artificial intelligence is automating attacks on political campaigns

#artificialintelligence

Automation enabled by artificial intelligence has exposed political campaigns to high-tech vulnerabilities at a fast clip, changing the way the organizations need to protect sensitive data. As the 2018 midterm elections approach, political campaigns have been fending off automated attacks. Those include phishing attacks, which attempt to get staff members to divulge their passwords, and password stuffing, a technique in which hackers recycle credentials harvested from other data breaches. AI has sped up the attack process. The result: More political campaigns are at a greater risk of hacks that expose sensitive data.
