Mossad cybersecurity expert warns the entire world: "This is the beginning of automated warfare"
Eran Stauber, former member of Israeli intelligence Unit 8200, warns that we are facing a new form of warfare whose consequences could be devastating.
Cyberattacks have ceased to be one-off operations directed by human groups, and now artificial intelligence is actively involved in these types of offensives, automating every phase of the process from vulnerability analysis to the execution of the attack.
This transformation marks a turning point in cybersecurity worldwide, which is why Eran Stauber, one of the most recognized experts in the field, warns that a new stage has begun, with automated real-time attacks that do not depend on human intervention and that affect both companies and public infrastructure.
It is worth noting that this expert worked in one of the most secretive areas of Israeli military intelligence, Unit 8200, known for being the most influential talent pool in the world of digital security.
His experience as a hacker makes him a reference point, and he now leads UltraRed, a company specialized in detecting and anticipating threats on an international scale.
From that position, he issues a warning stating that security as you know it is no longer enough.
The start of a war between artificial intelligences
Stauber does not speak of the future, but rather asserts that we are already immersed in an automated war where cyberattacks are not programmed, they generate themselves.
Thanks to algorithms capable of analyzing code in seconds, offensive AIs discover vulnerabilities and execute attacks without human intervention.
Tools like WormGPT or FraudGPT, available on the dark web, allow malicious actors to create intrusion campaigns with just a few clicks, eliminating the time previously required to develop an exploit, thereby shortening the attack cycle to the extreme.
