India’s cyber security agency CERT-In has issued a fresh warning about the rapid rise of AI-powered cyber attacks, saying that artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to launch more advanced and harder-to-detect online threats.
According to the advisory, cybercriminals are using AI tools to create more convincing phishing emails, automate attacks, and bypass traditional security systems. The agency said this marks a major shift in the scale and sophistication of cybercrime in recent years.
CERT-In has urged companies and government organisations to strengthen their cybersecurity systems, improve threat monitoring and adopt advanced defence technologies to counter evolving risks.
The agency also advised regular security audits, employee awareness training and faster response systems to reduce the impact of potential breaches.
CERT-In has warned that without stronger safeguards, critical infrastructure, financial systems and private data could become more vulnerable to cyber threats in the future.
