Threat Actors Leverage AI To Target Customer Facing Apps
A recent report by Digital.ai found that 87% of monitored apps faced attacks in 2026, up from 55% in 2022. The growth in AI model use has mirrored the increase in attacks, with financial services, automotive, and medical device apps being the most frequently targeted. Agentic AI is enabling threat actors to accelerate code inspection, exploit generation, and malware adaptation, making it easier for them to launch attacks. According to Digital.ai, this trend may force security teams to rethink their strategies, as reported by Infosecurity Magazine.
