Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

AI is transforming cybercrime faster than most people can keep up. What used to require skilled impersonators, expert hackers, or hours of manual research can now be done in seconds with widely available AI tools. Deepfake video calls, cloned voices, hyper-personalized phishing, synthetic identities, and automated fraud are no longer rare - they are happening today, at scale, and costing individuals and businesses billions.This book gives readers what the headlines don't: clarity, realism, and practical defense. Drawing on verified 2024-2026 data from ENISA, Europol, the FBI's IC3, and global security research, AI Cybercrime - The New Digital Threat explains how modern criminals use AI, what risks matter most, and how ordinary people, families, small businesses, and enterprises can protect themselves without fearmongering or technical jargon.You'll learn: - How AI accelerates classic cybercrimes - phishing, impersonation, identity theft - rather than inventing new ones from scratch.- How deepfakes and voice cloning are used to manipulate trust, including real cases like multimillion-dollar video-call fraud.- The psychology behind social engineering and why urgency, authority, and emotional triggers still work.- Practical, budget-realistic defenses for households, small businesses, and enterprises.- How GDPR, the EU AI Act, NIS2, and DORA fit into the modern AI-risk landscape.- What to do in the first 60 minutes, 24 hours, and 72 hours after an incident.- How to build long-term resilience instead of fear.Written for both professionals and everyday readers, this book combines clear explanations, realistic examples, warning signs you can actually notice, and actionable steps you can implement immediately. It is precise enough for a CISO or DPO, yet plain enough for a first-time reader to finish in a weekend and walk away safer, more confident, and better prepared.If you want to understand the real risks - without hype - and learn how to defend yourself, your family, or your organization against AI-powered fraud, this is your essential guide.
