Screenshot of part of the previous linked article: WSJ: Is that a sign hackers are using AI? Moses: Without a doubt. Generative AI has provided access to those who previously didn’t have software-development engineers to do these things. Now, it’s more ubiquitous, such that normal humans can do things they couldn’t do before because they just ask the computer to do that for them. We’re seeing a good bit of that, as well as the use of AI to increase the realness of phishing, and things like that. They’re still not there 100%. We still can find errors in every phishing message that goes out, but they’re getting cleaner.

@caseynewton @GossiTheDog …the examples he gives are meh and not really tied to the 750 million claim. There's the claim that generative AI lets non-developers do things they couldn't do before, which cites a story about the FBI warning it makes phishing easier. Followed by Moses citing phishing directly.
Which sure, phishing is a real thing, but the connection to the "OMG 750 million attacks a day" is tenuous, and "more better phishing" isn't really some big shift in the threat landscape
