AI gives hackers ‘machine speed’ attack capability, faster than banks can respond: Report
Artificial intelligence is enabling cybercriminals to carry out sophisticated attacks at “machine speed”, putting offensive cyber capabilities on a faster development curve than the defensive and regulatory mechanisms designed to stop them, according to the Digital Threat Report 2025–26 released by MeitY, CERT-In, CSIRT-Fin and SISA.
The report identifies “AI asymmetry” as one of the biggest cyber risks facing the banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI) and digital payments ecosystem.
